Don’t pretend you didn’t see this coming — the iPad Wi-Fi + 3G was successfully jailbroken the very day it was released. Utilizing comex’s “Spirit” jailbreak, the userland exploit works by taking advantage of security holes currently present in the iPhone OS. It’s not publicly available as of yet, but word is it’s coming real soon. Just promise us you’ll back up your SHSH blobs when the time comes to jailbreak, okay? Video. Jump. Click.

    Surprise surprise. I don’t think Apple will ever be able to secure the iPhone OS from being broken.

    I just wish they would release it already!! My donation is ready and so is my 3GS lol! Hats off to the team!

    Why is this a surprise? They have been jailbreaking the iPhone since the first month it has been released and every version thereafter. Since the iPad is just a big iPod Touch/iPhone, why would anyone think that jailbreaking it was going to be a problem?

    I guess what is impressive is that there has been no advance on the security front by apple

    LOL!!! Color me surprised. Same poor security features that’s in the 3 previous iterations of the SAME PLATFORM. I’m bored with Apple. I’m so glad I don’t own ANYTHING you steal (errr, make).

      I can go on and on, but the fact is any device can be hacked.

        Um that’s where you are wrong…the Blackberry OS hasn’t been hacked….but good try!

    What’s so bad? It takes some nerd to have direct input with the device to hack it and that means the ipad’s “security” is bad? Obviously it’s someones job to hack it as fast as possible, idiots.

    I wish Apple wouldn’t make me feel like an “outlaw” just to be able to use the device to its full potential to suit my needs. The annoyance has definitely made me consider Andriod seriously.
