We have some good news for the entire iOS jailbreaking community, a new iOS jailbreak has been released to the general public that has capability to jailbreak the iOS 5.0 as well as the iOS 5.0.1 firmware that runs on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. The name of this new iPhone / iPad jailbreak tool is Ac1dSn0w.Folks over at the Pwn Dev Team have released the first beta version of Ac1dSn0w which is available for Mac OS X users only. And just like the iPhone Dev Team’s Redsn0w 0.9.9 and iH8sn0w’s Sn0wbreeze jailbreak tool, the new Ac1dSn0w jailbreak tool is compatible for the users of iPhone 4 (GSM and CDMA), iPhone 3GS, iPad 1, and iPod Touch 4G running on iOS 5 and iOS 5.0.1 firmware. In addition to these, you should also be noted that Ac1dSn0w offers tethered jailbreak only. Anyway, you can check the tutorial posted below on how to jailbreak iOS 5 / iOS 5.0.1 using Ac1dSn0w beta 1 jailbreak tool:

You can check Pwn Dev Team official website to know more about Ac1dSn0w jailbreak tool.
Update:
MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev Team advised iOS jailbreakers to STAY AWAY from this tool as it contains copyright Apple code.
Unfortunately they achieve this by directly embedding Apple code in their program (15 times!). That’s the kind of copyright infringement we stay away from. Hosting this app can lead to DMCA takedowns, etc. (Anyhow, redsn0w doesn’t need the IPSW for each tethered boot either..it fetches the images from Apple’s servers once and then caches them.).
