Sick of Apple iPad news yet? Here’s one more we couldn’t resist… It’s not a secret that both the regular Wi-Fi iPad and now iPad Wi-Fi + 3G are jailbroken, but what’s really interesting is that the world-famous iPhone Dev Team has managed to get the native SMS application from the iPhone working on the iPad. Oh, it’s viciously transplanted for now, but be honest, if they can get this going properly, who wouldn’t want an SMS app on their new iPad? Whether you can actually send or receive messages on AT&T in general is another story. Video is after the jump!
