About an hour ago, p0sixninja and greenpois0n released the Absinthe jailbreak software for the iPad 2. Now this jailbreak tool is available to the public through the greenpois0n website. I just finished jailbreaking my iPad 2 a few minutes ago and will upload a video with the absinthe iPad 2 jailbreak in a few minutes.
Here are the steps to jailbreak your iPad 2 with the absinthe jailbreak:
Step 1: Download absinthe jailbreak, Direct download for Absinthe jailbreak.
Step 2: Run the absinthe jailbreak on OS X
Step 3: Connect your iPad 2 (or iPhone 4S) to your computer running absinthe jailbreak tool.

Step 4: Be patient while your iPad 2 is being jailbroken

Step 5: Unlock your iPad 2 and look for the Absinthe jailbreak icon, and select that icon (try re-selecting if your get a database error).


Step 6: Your iPad 2 will reboot and the Absinthe icon will change into the Cydia icon

Step 7: Open Cydia and allow it to be configured and reboot again.
Step 8: Enjoy your jailbroken iPad 2 running iOS 5.0.1
Now that you have Cydia on your iPad, you can begin to install the best free Cydia tweaks and a few of the best paid cydia tweaks for your iPad! Some are not iOS 5 compatible yet, but with the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S jailbreak being made available the jailbreak developers will definitely get to work on the updates.
