Haha...you guys are funny.
You do realize that you can always do a restore right? It will get the iPad back to how it came from the factory.
Got a tip for us?

I was scared to but I did a JB last night and it's working fine. I only installed Categories from Cydia and all is well. Some have loaded up on Cydia apps and things are acting up I heard but you should be fine.
It is the easiest JB in the world
Something is definitely draining the battery, I read for about 15 mins and lost about 5%%. Im down to 83% and its been unplugged for about 8 hours but barely used today.
Im probably going to restore it, I dont listen to Pandora and I havent found another good use for backgrounder personally. The iPad is fast enough that switching between apps isnt really a issue for me. I think the JB is much better for 3G users with unrestrictor and stuff.

For me, backgrounder is really about switching apps fast, it's about being to to have that app keep functioning when you leave it.
For example, take YouTube. If you load a video...and for some reason they load pretty slow on the iPad...you have to sit there and wait while it loads. With Backgrounder, you can start to load it...exit the app, and do something else and come back to it later.
Same for a website for example, especially if you use Atomic Browser. I've had it happen more then once that I would be writing a reply in a thread, and in the middle of writing, I had to check something for reference to the reply. If I exit the browser, I lose everything. Yes, I could select, copy and then paste when I return...but why when you could just have it run in the background?
Another instance I used today was settings (on my iPhone in this case). I would make one change and then go see how the change looked...I was able to background the Settings app so after I checked the change, I could return to the same place in Settings, not have to go through all the menus to get back to what I was working in.
Be very careful when taking others suggestions!
I tried this hack on modmyi to get the iphone programs to open in full screen automatically.
Followed their step by step to the letter and was forced to do a full restore when I could not close an app I opened up and froze.
When I restarted all I got was the white apple logo, and that was the kiss of death.
Had to do full restore, they should really make sure these things are working, whatever, live and learn!

Yea - I think I'm going to hold off on the "making iPhone apps bigger" thing.
I hear Facebook works perfectly but I've not tried. Others I've tried have been wonky. There's a list out there somewhere listing what works, what doesn't.
I find it a tedious nightmare to find the right app I'm looking for.
My guess is 'they' will create some type of script or easy way to do this very soon. I think I'll try Facebook tomorrow if only to have something be successful, then be patient for a more elegant method.
I did get Voice Control from the 3GS on there and it's gorgeous.
I'm so happy - IDK what to say LOL

Times 3... Meaning that since there is 2 others asking about a way to tether a Blackberry 9700 on earlier posts, I was just saying I was third in line waiting for an answer...
I know about the MiWi app, but I use a

Ahh, gotcha! I just didn't want to miss out, even though I thought X3 was a program that might allow tethering between BB and iPad
yea, I'm desperate Mine has gone down 4% between this and my last post
So, 11min since last post and 25*4%=100%, so I am guessing about 275 minutes or about 4.5 hours if that rate holds. That's some serious battery drain compared to what I've been getting. Anyone else seeing a drain with Spirit? I suspect (but can't prove) I've have seen a similar hit on my 3GS with blackra1n over the past months but I guess it's worth it anyway...
My iPad's already JB'ed, but is it fine to install the iTunes update that came out today? I think I read somewhere to stay at 9.1 or something?

They? The people who provide the tools that make this all possible, for free? The ones who posted the warnings on the very first page when you load Cydia that not everything is working yet?
Once you start jailbreaking, this is the stuff that can happen. Don't do it if the risk is too high for you, because no one can fix it for you but you. That's the price for leaving the garden.
