pod2g has posted a video showing off an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5. When and if it will be made public has yet to be said.

hello. No it does not rely on [Charlie Miller's code signing vulnerability]. Next step do the same on iOS 5.0.1. Should be quick.

According to later a tweet sent out by pod2g, it looks as if it will work on iOS 5.0.1 which is great news for all the folks that already updated.

Tons of questions from my nice followers. Too early to answer. Will work on iOS 5.0.1, will try iPad 2 and 4S after others are ready.

Given all the newfangled technology we live with these days, it's not surprising they confused the iPhone with an "eye phone".

"What is that gadget? An eye phone? Hello? Hello?!?.. There's nobody there!"

Jump to the 30-second mark for the hilarity.
