Outside my iPad, or was it inside?
Got the windows version installed, and everything seems to be working fine, except for the Cydia Store, it loads all right, but is unable to fully add repos (even the Big Boss). It just starts complaining about some POSIX error at some point. So right now some apps from Big Boss are there, like 3G unrestrictor, but for example MyWi is missing.

Well, I was finally able to get the windows version of greenposi0n and complete my jailbreak. It feels great to be untethered now. I did run into one issue for those who are going to be doing this. I was jailbroken with redsnow(tethered) before this. When I intially tried to jail break with green pois0n it did NOT work. Make sure you do follow the instuctions and start with a clean firmware install. If you are having problems installing cydia afterwards you can use redsnow to install the cydia package only. It worked for me doing it this way. This will work for you as well if you do not have wifi access to install cydia.

I jb'd with the way my Ipad came from BB (4.2.1) and the screen was messed up. I restored 4.2.1 with Itunes, then jb'd and it was fine.
