Redmond Pie reports that the iPhone Dev-Team has updated its Redsn0w jailbreak tool. It now allows users to jailbreak their iOS 5.1 device—but it does require it to be connected to a computer to boot. It works for all iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices—except iPhone 4S and iPad 2.

If you're desperate to give it a try, there's a full tutorial over at Redmond Pie (it can be done onWindows or Mac). You'll have to wait longer to get an untethered jailbreak, though. [Redmond Pie; Thanks Anum!]
