Any reason not to update to 5.0.1 on iPad 2?

[rrandyy]

I have a 4.3.3 iPad 2 wifi that is jailbreaked. Any reasons (other than tethered) not to upgrade to 5.0.1 and jailbreak using the following guide?

I remember before there was some discussion that upgrading to this may exclude the device from future jailbreaks. Is this still true?

If I have the blobs saved for 4.3.3, can I always come back to 4.3.3 and jailbreak?

The jailbreak you mentioned does not work on the iPad 2 so you are stuck where you are for now if you want to retain your jailbreak.

Important things to consider:

This doesn’t work with the dual-core iPad 2 or iPhone 4S devices. Those running an iPad 2 on 4.3.3 can jailbreak using JailbreakMe 3.0.

That is why you shouldn't go to 5.0.1

Thanks. That really simplifies things. Unless someone corrects me, I'll assume there is no other jailbreak for 5.0.1 that works for the wifi iPad 2.

Currently, there is no jailbreak( tethered or untethered) available for iPad 2 and iPhone 4s..

Unless your iPad 2 is on 4.3.3
