I bet that there are a number of iPhone 4S users out there that have been waiting for an unmetered jailbreak to land for the smartphone. The untethered jailbreak is now available for the iPhone 4S and it will work for the iPad 2 as well. The hack is from the Dev Dream Team and was launched Friday.

The delay in launching a jailbreak for the device was in cracking the A5 processor and that bit was apparently not at all easy to accomplish. The jailbreak is called GreenPois0n Absinthe. There are a few catches, notably the untethered break is for Mac only.

The other caveat is that it will only work on devices running iOS 5.0.1 and any update to iOS will lose your jailbreak. I bet the jailbreaks to support the new updates would come much faster now that the processor has been cracked.
