Hey guys, I was just wondering if it was worth it to jailbreak my 1st gen iPad. I had an iPhone 3GS that I jail broke but it became slower. I feel that apple has restricted a lot of the iPad's capabilities. Although most.of the iPad's features are very nice, I feel like there is something apple can do to make the iPad more exciting.

There are plenty of stickie threads here in the hacking section to help you decide.

Also click the link in my sig for a few more reasons...

Thanks for the tip

You are most welcome, Matt!

DOOOOOO IIITTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
every chance I get I beg people to jailbreak. They always LOVE it!



And yes, search. I have yelled at like three people in 48 hours about not searching.

i'll give you 3 reasons:

Here are a few reasons to jailbreak:

1. MyWi OnDemand - Turns your WiFi iPad into a 3g iPad (if you have an iphone - this allows on-demand tethering - awesome)
2. SmartScreen - Put widgets on your lock screen!
3. Complete customization (sounds, graphics, etc)
4. iFile, SBSettings, ScrollingBoard, MultiCleaner....

If you haven't heard of any of these, do yourself a favor and do a Google search!

#1 intrigues me. So rather than paying Verizon an extra $30+ a month for tethering, if I JB our 1st gen IPads, we can tether for free when we get an IPhone?

This question was just crossing my mind.

I have taken a dive into jailbreak. I tried it on my iphone 3g. Just about an hour but I am totally disappointed so far. My main reason was to get flash. I searched and found this app/add on for Safari imobilecinema. Installed it but every flash video site I go to and try to play gives me a broken vid icon.

I keep searching but that is the only one I have seen.

I am glad I tried it on my iphone first. Unless things change, I won't bother to jailbreak ipad.

I can't jailbreak for backgrounds.
