Those eager to avoid their carrier's monthly "because we can" tethering fee may be interested to know that a fully untethered jailbreak has finally been released for the iPhone 4S and iPad 2. A new tool dubbed "Absinthe A5" has been released allowing iOS devices with A5 processors to be jailbroken, after which users need to visit the Greenpois0n website to complete the jailbreak. The release comes the same week as AT&T announced they'd be raising prices for wireless data (albeit with modest cap increases as well). Be wary: AT&T's been tracking heavy usage and then automatically upgrading users to their most expensive tethering tier.
