Well, I'm actually a new user of iPad, never used Apple's products also before like iPod. So I was just wondering, what advantages will I get by jailbreaking my iPad? Is it worth it to do that? I heard it can damage the iPad itself. Thanks before, looking forward for your answers ;)

I put a lil vid together for the droves of people that constantly ask this question.

I used display recorder to record the screen which is also why you can see my screen swipes....this is just the tip of the ice berg.

Theres basically no limits to what you can do when your Jailbroken. I have been surviving with my iPad 2 (non-Jailbroke) but i still keep around my first iPad because its Jailbroke and theres so many tweaks and customizations (themes) and it just makes the overall iDevice experience so much better.

Thanks all ;) I really appreciate your answers. I'm using iPad 1G and I was thinking maybe I would only jailbreak it after the guarantee expires, but maybe it will be worth it to jailbreak it as soon as I can if it's safe and won't break my iPad.

I can now see the link, cool video. I wonder in the color boxes moving across the screen were video graphics added or if they are part of the actual screen on the jailbroken iPad ?

No doubt this is everything that I've wanted when looking for a tablet. Jailbreaking my iPad 2 (when possible) will give me the widgets I love and the apps I need. Thanks for giving me hope!

Jailbreaking your iPad makes it the ultimate tablet. Except for the crappy camera...

Thanks to everyone especially Outl4w!

I can see several reasons to Jailbreak my iPad:

The keyboard with a numbers row being the best:)
The active content on the home screen being another
The downloading YouTube videos
The connecting an external hard drive - is that for real? Like I can connect a USB hard drive via my camera connector?
I'm on 4.3.3 or whatever version is the latest so, I think I'll have to wait?

You're welcome:D....yes you can connect a USB hard drive, but it must be powered, no stand-a-lone USB hard drive will work...a few thumb drives will though.
If you have ipad1....you can still jb on 4.3.3....look in the tutorial section for f47b0y great tuts...
