Jailbreakme

Have seen a site called jailbreakme where you can jailbreak your iPhone directly without the use of a computer but my phone isn't cap it says does anyone know if or when a version is going to be released for ios 5.0.1

Jailbreakme.com through your Safari browser only supports firmware upto 4.3.3. Not sure when or if 5.0.1 will ever be supported... Jay Freeman (saurik) who owns Cydia now also owns Jailbreakme.com.

JailbreakMe requires a PDF exploit which is extremely rare. Because the person who has found and developed those exploits in the past, Comex, now works for Apple, I would say it's pretty safe to say that we will never see a jailbreak like that again.

It's unlikely we will ever see JailbreakMe used for newer firmwares. The PDF bug originally used by Comex was an extreme security risk, not only for jailbreaking but also for iPhone-targeted malware. Apple is now more careful to insure that no MobileSafari-based vulnerabilities exist, as they put the device at substantial risk.
