I dont think it will take that long.
I heard ipad 3 is expected in March or after.
We already have 2 betas released for 5.1, it could be very soon, within weeks.
Got a tip for us?

No. Stay where you are. Always. Even if 5.1 is released, 5.0.1 will still be signed for a little bit.
Either way, if 5.1 is dropped before pod2g releases his jailbreak, then he will simply retool it to work with 5.1. 5.1 won't become unjailbreakable as long as pod2g doesn't drop his tool before the release of 5.1. The only exception would be if someone Apple arbitrarily discovered the exploit pod2g used, but that almost never happens and is nearly impossible.
Also, if the exploit works on 5.0.1 it should work on 5.0.0. So even if it for some reason doesn't work on 5.1 and you don't get 5.0.1 in time, it will still work on 5.0.0
Point is, you're fine either way, as long as you're on 5.X.X of some sort.
Agreed.
Last year's new iPad was shipped with 4.3 I believe, not 4.1. Furthermore, 5.1 is due out any day now.

Yeah I'm staying put on 5.0 as well. Although I don't need an unlock, it will really help the resale value of my phone if I can maintain a baseband that is unlockable.

By reading cydia blog, it seems that only basebands 1.0.11 and probably 1.0.13 will be unlockable, this would be fantastic news for those of us 4S owners. I'm curious to see if this will allow Vzw iPhones to be used on AT&T and T-Mo as well Verizon. That would be fantastic.

I can't wait to JB and unlock my 4s -
It has been one of the most dissapointing phone purchases I have ever made -
(with the non-JB part being only 1/2 the dissapointment)
My 4yo JB 3g was so much more fucntional, (it's quite embarrassing)

Here is where it gets juicy.
Let's assume that Hackman Smith is legit, keeps his commitment, and his jailbreak is released on 12/25. Since none of us know what exploit his jailbreak is based on, they (Apple) could be waiting for it (or any jailbreak) to be released before dropping 5.1. If so, and if Hackman's exploit is the same as pod2g's exploit, pod2g would be screwed because his exploit got closed in 5.1.
We will all know, and the aftermath, on Christmas Day.
BL.
Hackman isn't real, so its not interesting at all. That story has played out a thousand times with other "hackers"
Because there is 0 evidence to believe he is real. No other JBer has talked about him and he hasn't provided a shred of evidence beyond what he originally talked about. No offense, but its like thinking Santa is real because you saw an iPhone commercial with him
And...Apple hasn't shown any evidence that they wait for a JB to be released so that they can quickly patch it. They usually just patch it on the next update. Given how small the JB community for the iPhone is, its not worth it to them.

True. I'm not sure if he is legit. Even still, it's unlikely they're using the same exploit. If they are, we could be screwed. If not, then it's throwing away an exploit. Hopefully if this guy is legit, he makes smart decisions!

Apple has closed off "bugs" that were going to be used for jailbreaks before. They just did it to 2 or 3 of the 5 the teams were going to use; which they had set aside.
There are some key people that used to jailbreak that are missing and one of them ended up working at Apple this year.

That's true. However, we know that at the very least 5.0.1 is untethered jailbreakable for all current iOS devices. That's enough for me!

Idk if hackman is real or not, I just hope that the unlock rumors are true. I am very curious to see how this would work on Verizon 4S'. Would tht mean that that would be the one phone that could truly work on CDMA and gsm? That would potentially increase the value of the Verizon iPhone by a couple hundred dollars.

Musclenerd posted pics of a jailbroken 4s weeks ago but still nothing has been said or released since, how much closer is this? Will we see a JB for 4s before next year?
Having no JB honestly makes me realize how horrible a stock iphone is, honestly wth, why does apple gimp their phones so bad when they have so much potential?

Sorry for posting this here (newbie). I didn't know where to ask. I don't want to mess up the possibility to JB. There is an update for iTunes... to 10.5.2. It is safe to update for the upcoming jailbreak? I read this thread e-v-e-r-y day hoping to find the good news!
Verizon, and I've actually had Verizon unlock my phone and. have tested with a foriegn sim
From my last trip out of the country. However it would be great if I could truly unlock the phone to work with att and tMo as well.

yes.
Because they have to always out do themselves and they have to sell you a phone next year.
phone features =/= software features
Id say far more of their phones sell because of the new hardware than the new software that comes out
Any updates today? (this is as bad as waiting for apple to release it's next iphone). I feel like I'm in the movie Ground Hog Day with Bill Murry - ha
nothing...i know MN is in jacksonville for the holiday. and really don't know how the french celebrate xmas...or if they do at all.
and then there is hackman...
