The jailbreaking community can now safely download the tool to tether jailbreak iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 4G, and iPad on iOS 5.0.1 and iOS 5.0. Right now the tool does not support jailbreaking A5 powered iOS device such as iPhone 4S or iPad 2.

Since Ac1dSn0w is a tethered jailbreak, make sure that your battery doesn’t drains out. In case your iOS device battery depletes after the jailbreak, then you will have to reconnect your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to a computer and use the Ac1dSn0w utility to reboot it.
