it means that the person has yet to make a judgment about something.
like when you get a new boss, and you haven't decided whether or not he or she is going to be a good boss. during that period, the jury is still out. often it means that you still have some doubts about the person or situation.
this is like in a trial, while the jury is out, they are still debating the verdict. once the jury is in, the verdict is known.

It means that we don't have a definitive answer yet on something. There is no definite "yes" or "no" answer, like when the jury is shut away deliberating their verdict.
For example:- " Is George Bush a good president?"

It means the situation is not yet resolved.
In a trial, the jury leaves the courtroom to deliberate and decide the verdict.

It means something is still undecided. Like if my friend asks if my across the street neighbor is a lesbian, since we think so, but we aren't sure and haven't any proof or maybe it looks like she goes either way, I could say "the jury is still out, so to speak." ya know?

the jury is still out
no decision has been made, esp. because information is lacking.

A verdict has not been made yet, and the meaning is, I don't have a definite answer yet.
