Anyone have a confirmed report that it is possible to jailbreak 5.1 on ipad 2 untethered?

There are currently no untethered jailbreaks for anything other than the Old Bootrom 3GS. Obviously this is a WIP though.

yeah, waiting, patiently waiting. I bought it used from a guy who had already upgraded to 5.1 and I really miss cydia and the customizations you can do through springboard.

Videos released showing Cydia on iOS 5.1 on release date of 5.1.

Then give us some links - just because you saw a video, doesn't make it legit. With nothing on the green poison site, or any of the major iOS sites, then I doubt the videos are correct.

Still waiting. This must be one tough ios version to crack!!

No, jailbreak developers are just losing interest.

It makes sense, though. They don't earn as much as legitimate App Store developers, and Apple has been laxing up a lot lately, so chances are that whatever tweak they put into a jailbroken phone, Apple will come out with an official version in the next firmware update, but only that it's better-integrated and somehow is more elegant because a jailbreak tweak can only go so far.

That aside, it's silly playing the cat and mouse game after 5 years. Some people would have to move on.
