The latest apple iDevice software iOS5 is now jailbreakable in a Tethered and Semi-Tethered state only.
The Jailbreak community still awaits the release of the fully untethered jailbreak which is hopefully only just around the corner now that apple have announced iOS 5.0.1 release.
Tethered: If power to your device is lost and needs to be rebooted - then you will need access to a pc/mac and Redsn0w or iBooty to boot the phone back up into its jailbroken state, Other wise the phone/ipod will freeze on the apple boot screen.
Semi-Tether: A new tweak added to the tethered jailbreak means that you can now boot the phone/ipod back up even after losing power to your iphone/ipod touch, the down side to this method is that on reboot you will lose functionality of Safari Browser, Emails and Cydia (along with any cydia installed tweaks you have installed) However, the main functions of the phone, ie. Contacts, Phone, Texts etc etc will still work until you do manage to get access to pc/mac and reboot again into its full jailbreak capacity.
The latest version of Redsn0w will also assist in the jailbreaking of iOS 5.0
