I would love to jail break but i am not a computer expert and when i see tutorials of jb in youtube, i freak out and stay away from it. Its too much for me, the stress of the unknown. I wish i was computer savvy to do it by myself but thats not the case so i will stay stock and safe. I have seen jail broken iphones (no ipads though) and theyare great, but when explained to me how to do it it was beyond by grasp

If you search for the thread "sweetpoison's jb venture", you can see we held her hand through the whole process.

heh. there's a certain thrill when you do it for the first time. i think the first device i hacked was my old nokia phone. even though i followed a step-by-step tutorial i felt like a badass.

Definitely worth checking out as there's a lot of info for us first-timers (and all the trepidation, fears and general confusions of exploring a new territory.) Plus it's funny as hell.

And a prime example how one can ask the ultimate dumb questions.

LOL ^^

I have seen SP's jail break topic, if anything that put me off from jb, lol, despite the support and backup which was great. I remember as i was reading through the topic as it was updated, i said to myself no way, staying safe and stock 

Most certainly not dumb! I'm sure I'd have had the same questions my first time in the, as you dubbed it, Twilight Zone. 'sides how else are you going to know unless you ask?

We all had those dumb questions at first like you. We had to find out somehow. Most of mine were answered by google.

My question is, (and I am sure I speak for many people who are reading your posts) how would you know if it is slower since you are not jailbroken?
Have you ever run a speed test on a stock and jailbroken iPad? Sounds to me like someone is making an assumption.

And Kai, sorry to hijack your thread.

Your right and yes I have tested jail broken vs stock and there is a HUGE speed difference.....well that's for MY idevice. Not sure about other JB devices.
