I've never JBroken my iphones, but am tempted to do so with the ipad. I run win7x64 though... I do have an old macbook I keep around for OS X testing, perhaps I should use that instead. Is there any kind of walkthrough for noobs like me?

You literally just plug the iPad in and click jailbreak. It doesn't even have to be in a restore mode. Super easy jailbreak!

Posting from my iPad that's tethered to my iPhone 3GS. So, yay for that.

Does anybody know if there's suppose to be an ipad section only in Cydia or not?

An app called backgrounder does multitasking. That's why i did it. I've been waiting to be able to use iheartradio while using safari. Now I can. But to answer your question, for the most part, yes. But there are a lot of useful apps on cydia that can't be in the appstore.

*** Installous works ***

So without appsync, you can still use installous to download your apps.

That makes this spirit jb all worth it ;)

It's 100% valid are you sure you typed it in right?

I just downloaded all the dependencies...(installous and all)

I jailbroke, then the first thing I tried to install was SBSettings. My iPad restarted, and was broken. It had the iPhone UI on my iPad, and I couldn't use the touch screen. Just had to restore.

I think I'll wait a little longer before jailbreaking again lol.
