After a more than 3 months of wait, the jailbreak for the A5 devices iPhone 4S and iPad 2 has finally come. For the time being, go to greenpois0n.com to know more on how the thing works. Just a warning to people who wants their iDevice getting out of Apple's prickly limitations, update now to 5.0.1 before they patches the exploit on another update. Unlockers should take note though, stay away from 5.0.1.

UPDATE 2: Absinthe is now available for both Mac OS and Windows! Check the guide below for the Windows version. Credits to iPhoneFAQ.org for the guide.

Make sure you backup your iPhone or iPad on iTunes before doing the jailbreak! We will not be responsible for any damage that may occur on your device!

1. Update your iPhone 4S to either iOS 5 or iOS 5.0.1 (the iPad 2 must be updated to iOS 5.0.1). iPhone users waiting for an unlock should stay at iOS 5 for now.
