The tethered jailbreak, semi-tethered jailbreak and now the untethered jailbreak were all piggy-backing on top of a bootrom exploit that is not available on the 4S and the iPad2. It doesn't mean there won't be a A5 jailbreak, its just because all of those jailbreaks were based off an exploit that has been around since 4.2.1.
The untethered that was released just now was a userland exploit, not the bootrom one.
Also the people that are doubting the a5 exploit, the reason it's taking longer is because of the way the new processor handles things.
This isn't the greatest example, but you can probably understand what I mean:
Compare a 32bit to a 64bit pc. In order to run 64bit programs on a 64bit pc, it needs to be compiled FOR a 64bit pc.
The same applies here in a similar way. pod2g needs to find a way to deliver the payload and that's why it's taking a while.
I do have one question though to someone that can answer it. I'm on 5.0 atm and haven't upgraded to 5.0.1. According to pod2g, the exploit will most likely be for 5.0.1 but if I were to stay on 5.0 just in case, can apple stop me from upgrading to 5.0.1 at a later time? For example, if the 5.1 comes out before pod2g releases the jailbreak, can apple block me from updating to 5.0.1?
