Recently, on twitter, pod2g reported that the team and himself are closer to a public release of an iOS 5.1 jailbreak. In his tweet he stated that they have found all the exploits necessary to produce a public iOS 5.1 jailbreak. It is still unknown as to how many devices this will cover but at the moment I believe it would be safe to assume it would cover all devices.

A few minutes after pod2g’s tweet, grant Paul, (comex) another major player in the jailbreak community tweeted: “Remember: just because all the exploits are found doesn’t mean that a jailbreak exists – it’s likely months away from first working at all.”

This is good news because they are moving forward in the progress of a release of a public jailbreak. Unfortunately thought their could be a bit of a wait which is to be expected after a new product is released. Remember, the iPad 2 jailbreak took months of development.

But soon, soon we can free our iOS 5.1 devices!
