And lastly is a jb of ios6 expected soon or at all?

There is no way of predicting when the jailbreak will be released. All I can recommend is to subscribe to the official iOS 6 jailbreak status thread and monitor it on a regular basis. Any news of an iOS 6 jailbreak will be released here.

Blobs are not stored on your iPad...

I know you like to be in possession of all the facts Scifan, so here is a slight correction.

Blobs are of course stored on the iPad (they are stitched into the firmware when it is installed), otherwise the device simply wouldn't work. It is just that there is no way to extract them from iPad2 or later devices as things stand.
A bootrom / iBoot exploit is necessary and whilst we don't have one (yet) for A5+ devices, it was possible on the A4 based iPad1. For example, the iFaith tool supported the extraction of blobs up to and including 5.0.1 thanks to geohot's limera1n exploit. redsn0w also has this functionality if I recall correctly.

Hope that clarifies.

Thanks for the correction, f4780y, I have edited the post in question.
