It  has not been very long since we got our hands on the new iOS 5.0.1, and there is already a very positive word about the untethered jailbreak for the OS. This is an exciting news from the developer and hacker pod2g, who has been in affiliation with the Cronic Dev Team. In the last few weeks, this particular developer has seen a lot of progress in his attempts to exploit the new iOS 5.0.1 for an untethered jailbreak.

The developer and hacker pod2g has been updating his blog regularly and has been telling the progress of the hack, and according to his latest update, the hack that he has been using has already started working on Apple's iDevices running on the A4 processor, which is a bit old. So not all the devices are supported right now by this hack.

The developer has already demonstrated this working hack on an iPod Touch fourth generation, and it works properly. The iPhone 4, which is now the second latest iPhone, is also included in this list of supported devices along with iPad (first generation), the iPod touch 4G, iPhone 3GS and the Apple TV. Below is what his latest update says:

“iPad 1 5.0.1 untethered code is done, testing tomorrow with a friend’s device. Just to let you know my progress in real time. iPhone 3GS 5.0.1 untethered code is done. Testing tomorrow also! iPod 4G 5.0.1 untethered too !  ). Apple TV 2 4.43 untethered done also. Will be able to test in some days.”

This can mean only one thing. As soon as this guy finishes his testing, we will be having untethered iPhones and iPad, even iPod Touches. This is just a matter of time now. But what about the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S which run on the new A5 processor? No word on this actually.
