With the sun shining and bees buzzing in celebration of spring you’ve likely started decluttering your closets and basements. If you need a break from all that indoor work, it might be time to step away and do the same for your iPhone. Here are some easy tips to give your trusted iPhone a spring cleaning of its own.

It never takes long for the hacking community to get to grips with new iOS releases, but the first tethered jailbreak of iOS 5.1 is here blisteringly fast.
Redmond Pie reports that the iPhone Dev-Team has updated its Redsn0w jailbreak tool. It now allows users to jailbreak their iOS 5.1 device—but it does require it to be connected to a computer to boot. It works for all iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices—except iPhone 4S and iPad 2.
If you’re desperate to give it a try, there’s a full tutorial over at Redmond Pie (it can be done onWindows or Mac). You’ll have to wait longer to get an untethered jailbreak, though. [Redmond Pie; Thanks Anum!]

Today Apple announced the availability of iOS 5.1 for most of the world and, in a couple of weeks, Japan (who will finally get Siri). While there are few significant changes, there are minor but notable updates. Here are what we think is most relevant:
You can update now via Software Update on your iDevice or you can manually install through iTunes. Jailbreakers should hold off for now as there’s no word of when an iOS 5.1 jailbreak will be available.

From Inside Search blog:
How often are you doing a Google search from your computer to find information about a place before going there? Now, next time you go to Google.com on your Android phone or iPhone, information about that place will be conveniently available under the new “Recent” icon. Calling, getting directions or seeing details about the places you just searched for is now only one tap away.
We provide this new convenience feature for users who have Web History enabled and are logged into Google when doing their search. Start by searching for a place on your PC or other devices, then login to Google.com’s mobile homepage and check the Recent icon. Information about previously searched places will be available under the Recent icon for about a day.
From Android Guys:
We just received an email from the team over at Box advising that they’re up to some really big things. For starters, they’ve updated the Android application with a completely overhauled user interface designed with Ice Cream Sandwich in mind. In addition to the new look, Box for Android also adds support for major European languages (French, German, Spanish, Italian), as well as the ability to comment on files, invite new teammates to folders and other fun stuff.
To help spread the word about the new app, Box is giving everyone 50GB of free file sharing and storage for the life of their account. All you have to do is download and install the v1.6 app over the next month. Existing users are in luck as well and need only to update the current applications.
