We all knows that the race fro getting iOS 5.1 will be on and is already on. But those who are into Jailbreak and Unlock iOS 5 and want to Unlock iOS 5.1 should stay away from iOS 5.1 because so far, there is no Ultrasn0w available for iOS 5.1 and there is neither Sn0wbreeze for iOS 5.1 nor a redsn0w available for iOS 5.1 right.
now all eyes will be on Dev Team members and developers which will be busy in making latest redsn0w, sn0wbreeze and Ultrasn0w for iOS 5.1 but so far no good news has been heard form their side. So guys if you have iOS 5 please stay on it and specially if you are into Jailbreak world, you should stick with the iOS 5 or any other older firmware and stay in touch we will bring more to you for sure in upcoming days.

Here is the Warning of Dev team on there Blog:
In all likelihood we’ll see the GM “gold master” version of 5.1 this week. DO NOT UPDATE TO 5.1, because you may lose your jailbreak! The rest of this post details the subtleties with this rule, but if there’s only one message to take home, it’s the overall “do not update” message! Now for the nitty gritty exceptions:
* Soon after 5.1 appears on Apple’s public servers (i.e. iTunes starts to offer it), Apple will stop signing 5.0.1 SHSH blobs.
* If you have an iPhone4S, the basic rule above is really the only rule: you cannot restore back to 5.0.1 once the 5.0.1 signing window is closed, no matter what (even if you saved your SHSH blobs).
* If you have an iPad2 with saved 4.x hashes, you can in fact downgrade to that 4.x but you won’t be able to get to 5.0.1 once the 5.0.1 signing window is closed (even if you saved your 5.0.1 SHSH blobs).
* If you have a device earlier than the iPad2, you can downgrade to whatever version you want, as long as you have saved SHSH blobs for that version. You’ll need the assistance of geohot’s limera1n exploit with tools like redsn0w to get into “pwned DFU mode” and bypass the downgrade restriction.
