    Should I jailbreak while warranty is still available?

    I don't know whether to jailbreak my iPad while the warranty is still up. It expires in December so it has around 6 months left but just wondering what you guys think.
    My Device:

    Device: iPad
    Size: 16GB
    Firmware: 4.3.3
    (Wifi Only)

    Remember, whilst your warranty is "techically" void if you are jailbroken, you can restore an iPad back to stock iOS at any time using iTunes. Apple has no way of knowing it was ever jailbroken and thus your warranty is magically restored.

    The only thing you need to be careful of is not to return it to Apple without restoring it first. Simple and safe if you follow this simple rule!

    If you decide to give it a go and ever get into trouble, just post a thread in the hacking section and we'll be happy to help.

    Since this isn't actually a proper public poll (you are just looking for advice), I won't move it to the polls section just yet!

    Thanks you

    It's just I've been looking around the Internet about this and some say the restore and take to apple works but others says that apple can find out if the device has been jailbroken in the past even though the device has been restored.

    Anyway I think I'm just going to take the plunge and jailbreak :P
