Want iOS 5.1 but don’t want to sacrifice your jailbreak-driven life?

Well, here’s good news. There’s now a jailbreak for it!

But hold your horses! This new jailbreak isn’t for everyone, more specifically those with A5-powered iOS devices (read: iPhone 4S, iPad 2).

And also note, this is tethered.

That said, if you really can’t get rid of the itch to upgrade to iOS 5.1, head on over to Redmondpie for a full tutorial on how you can jailbreak your iPhone/iPod touch/iPad running on iOS 5.1.

Before you do that, though, upgrade to iTunes to 10.6 and download the following files so you’ll have everything on hand already when you attempt to jailbreak your iOS 5.1-powered device:

• Redsn0w 0.9.10b6 for Windows/Redsn0w 0.9.10b6 for Mac
• iOS 5.1 IPSW file

Good luck! But if I were you, I’d rather just wait for the untethered jailbreak to roll out.
