Who would have ever thought that the iPad would be jailbroken within one month prior to its launch. Geohot has done it again using Blackra1n. The Dev Team is still trying to figure out an easier way to jailbreak your iPad by hitting one button like people did for their iPhones and iPod Touches. If i owned an iPad, I wouldn’t jailbreak it. The reason is because I want the full performance from start to finish. I don’t want it to slow down then have apps crash and all that other junk. Then again, jailbreaking doesn’t do anything bad except slow down your device a tad bit and shorten battery life a little. Since I haven’t heard anything in a difference of performance yet, be sure to check back here for more information after the release of the jailbreak.
Like i said before, it is pretty impressive that Geohot has done this within such a short amount of time. If you currently have an iPad, and are waiting for this to release to the public, be patient and wait about another month or so. I am not encouraging anyone to jailbreak, I am just giving news on how the iPad was jailbroken so quickly. Do what you want, I take no responsibility for what you do.

All I can say is "w00t!" If I ever get an iPad, I'll very likely jailbreak it right away. "Then again, jailbreaking doesn’t do anything bad except slow down your device a tad bit and shorten battery life a little." That is not true. All that jailbreaking does is it allows you to run unsigned applications from sources other than iTunes. It does not slow your iPod/iPhone/iPad down at all, nor does it decrease battery life, in and of itself. What causes these things is various add-on applications -- and by jailbreaking, you make a lot of persistent background applications available. But then ask yourself, is it really the jailbreak's fault? I know people who have pages and pages of apps on a non-jailbroken iPhone/iPod, and it's considerably slower than a brand-new iPod with only the stock apps installed.

LikeBTW Scotty, the updates category is more for the site updates if you know what I mean. :)
Dunno how that fits under the entertainment one either... :)
But yeah, it's amazing how fast it took them. I wonder when we hit 4.0, will the completely rewrite it to be unable to jailbreak? :D

LikeYeah that's sort of what I meant. I have a lot of processes running on my iPod Touch so it might just be me...
