I don't know if u are aware of this,but i'm gonna tell u anyway.(this is based on experience)

Recently i help jb my friend's ipad 1 for ios 5.0.1..the original ios 5.0.1 got the multigesture by default n its working..but then,i jailbroke the ipad WITHOUT selecting the 'Enable multitask gesture' en-route to completing the jaibreak(coz i thought it would be redundant if i 'tick'..after the jb,when i go back to the Settings>General where the multigesture toogle is at,it disappeared..no multigesture.

So,what the point of having ipad without multigesture??Then,i re-jailbreak it but this time,i 'tick' the Enable multigesture option..n now,walla..the ipad ios 5.0.1 is jailbroke with multigesture n its working.

Just sharing

5.1 is brand new..n i don't think it'll come out anytime soon..5.1 for A4 devices only have a tethered jb for now..last i heard,pod2g (mastermind in 5.0.1 untethered for all idevices) tweeted he will actively looking for vulnerabilities on ios 5.1 for an untethered jb..n that's the initial stage..could be another 4-6 months before it releases to public
