After one day it was over, probably due to the very busy Cydia site on July 6 after the release of Jailbreakme 3.0 ?
Since then my Ipad normally syncs with iTunes.
I downloaded and installed PHP and Lighttpd from Cydia and PHP ran flawlessly out-of-the-boc !
I uploaded a couple of my websites to my iPad in the Goodreader app ffolder (so accessing it easily) and symlinking that folder from /var/www.
My sites showed up normally .
But there was also an...
Most annoyances:
- User interface within apps not intuitive: no standard 'Menu' button as Android (Samsung) does have
- No shared files among apps other than photos
- Unable to upload files from ANY browser (e.g. photos to a forum, attachments to webmail). Even not files within the own browser...
After a successful JB from ailbreakme (which worked flawlessly) and installing openssh server (and no more apps) and rebooting the iPad (to confirm it is really untethered) it does not connect to Tunes 10.3 anymore on my Mac.
So restoration is impossible. A new way of Apple to punish JB-ers ...
Yes.
As the iPad has no usable Bluetooth (only for BT earbuds and another Apple only devices but not a Macbook) I cannot use my BT GPS.
A JB iPad is able to support this as there is a Cydia app which allows using 'normal' BT.
The free iPhone Explorer (Macroplant - iPod, iPad, iPhone Transfer & Conversion Softwareiphoneexplorer/) Windows / OSX app can do a lot until a JB comes available.
I will use it for (if it ever comes out):
- SSH and VNC server
- Bluetooth stack so I can use my BT GPS
And do not use the iPod app.
I just put mp3's into the Goodreader app folder and can play them without problems. No iTunes crap needed, just like any non-Apple mp3 player.
Only a few apps are useful.
Most are useless 'website replacement apps' or other toys with which you play a few times and then you have seen enough.
When one installs Goodreader, Atomic, iCab and Azulplayer, and iPhone Browser of a Mac or Windows PC most apps become obsolete. And iTunes is only...

I found that I set upa VPN using a proxy (which I ddn't use anymore but left the network settings to the VPN. All internet traffic still worked except the YT videos, so I thought it was a YT problem.
Now it is fixed, The YT app works and in most cases it works in browsers. But...
Using the keypad / onscreen keyboard on the iPad is better than on smartphones (due to its larger screen) but typing strings with latters and digits is still a nightmare.
I think there is enough space for a separate row of digits.
Particularly when one needs the '&' ypu have to press *two*...
Since last weekI cannot play any youtube movies on my iPad.
Not with any browser or Safari (YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. is enabled) and not with the preinstalled youtube pp. In Atomic you see a small spinning circle in a black background, Safari ignores the HTML5 setting and the Youtube app...
Youtube does not work anymore on iPad browsers
Last week I selected YouTube - html's Channel in both Safari and Atomic and in both cases YT showed the HTML versions.
I have set Atomic to the Safari 5 Mac user agent.
But now I had to reenable "join the html5" (why it has lost its setting I...
