Don't want to burst your bubble, but the coming jb is unlikely to work for either the 4S or the iPad 2. The work that's being done has mostly been on the older hardware (iPhone 4 and below).

iOS 5 is still pretty buggy if you haven't noticed.
It make sense to release an untethered JB on the most stable build of iOS 5 anyway.
How do you know about the untethered status? Not doubting you, just curious.
Also, say Apple releases 5.2 (or whatever the newest ios5 will be), and then the dev team releases the JB, won't apple just fix it in 5.3? What's the logic behind waiting for the first update if apple would fix it in the following update anyways?
Anyways, I hope you're right, my 4s is full of untapped potential! Let's go Dev team!
I don't have any inside info but I follow alot of the members of the Dev Team and a few other sites closely knit with the group. I remember when iOS 5 was still in beta they tweeted that an untether exploit was already there they just didn't want to release it until iOS 5 was out. The reason they would hold it back is because usually Apple comes out with a 0.1 upgrade soon after a major release so 5.01 and they don't want the exploit to be patched so early. They want to do it when the thing has legs so if they do it on 5.1 then atleast it's a pretty solid OS. I remember back in the 1.x days waiting for Pwnage Tool to have a JB from 1.x for like 3 or 4 versions of firmware.
Maybe there is hope:
Jailbreak iPhone 4S and iPad 2 Untethered On iOS 5 [Status] | iJailbreak.com
not sure how reliable this source is, but I'm hoping they know their stuff!
yes dev team blog will always give u rite update
i would have no problem forking out cash for every decent Untethered jailbreak if i knew it would be timely and bug free. i'm not afraid to spend the money. unfortunately there are A LOT of people who think differently
i think the min they decide to charge for it.. it becomes illegal. long as its free.. i think it cant be charged as piracy (some loop hole in the law)
