As you might recall, JailbreakMe is a web-based jailbreak tool that you can use completely online. No need to fumble with cables or any other messy configuration. Comex is working a new version of the tool and it looks like it will work on the iPad 2. He also effectively confirmed the iOS versions where it will be compatible.

@J_mac890 asked Comex on Twitter: “can u maybe alert everyone as to which iOS version this upcoming release will work on?? (ipad 2 btw) currently mines on 4.3.1…. :)”

Comex then replies with a simple “@J_mac890 4.2.1-4.3.3.”

I’d imagine that Comex would get back in front of the computer to develop an updated solution for iOS5 when that hits the streets, but that’s where he’s at right now.

Update: We have reports that the website will be updated any day now.

Not surprisingly, we’re once again turning our attention over to the Chronic Dev Team to find the newest version of Greenpois0n for your jailbreaking pleasure. The good news is that this is an untethered solution, meaning that you can reboot your iDevice without having to plug it into a computer.

For now, the Greenpois0n jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 is only for Macs, but we’re fully expecting the Windows and Linux equivalents to be pushed out soon enough. You might not even want to jailbreak anymore, though, since the Verizon iPhone already allows for hotspot sharing (and presumably the GSM version will follow… we hope). These jailbreaks can sometimes have odd effects on those with carrier unlocked iPhones too.

So, as is the case with all these jailbreaks, proceed at your own risk, caution, and discretion. It is called pois0n for a reason.
