iPad Hacked to Show Jailbreak is Possible

cute.

what is he exactly doing? looks cool but I can SO type faster than him!

7 in a row!

7 Apple product articles in a row, beginning to think that maybe the April Fools joke was indeed not a joke at all... If i find myself tempted to buy an iPad, i blame Tom's!

What's the point? - Less than one percent of users want to mess about with something that already works. It's like taking a brand new BMW and felling chuffed because you learnt to service it yourself. The days when everyone's PC would constantly be causing problems and getting stuff done took longer and longer are gone. Move on chaps and allow these new tools to enhance your life not take it over. And if you don't like the ecosystem then don't buy it.

heh, I forgot

!$$
Apple: Ipad steals your monies

6 in a row. Fail. Anyway... Tuan, you should really check out those other Slate's that other guy mentioned... there was like 7 of them and a couple looked pretty sweet. Have a good day everyone.

It's the spirit userland jailbreak, soon to be for iPhone too

It's taking them long enough...

Seriously guys, enough with Apple already...
I own a MacBook which I enjoy, but come on guys, you've overdone it, I guess all those Apple hardware in your press room brainwash you silently by broadcasting evil messages to your subconscious...

I am sure that if Intel or AMD only released a product every 2 years you would go nuts when it came out, but this is not the right way to give credit to a company.

You were given an inflated iPod so nothing to write about it and you invent about everything else, like trying to understand a modern art exhibit, you are trying to find the big plan behind it.

There is no big plan it's just a Big Mac iPod, and they are letting you find ways to use it, while the gain the extra cash, for doing nothing.

Where is the world going...

then think I might get one

It's just sad that people are forced to Jailbreak anything they own in order to get full function out of it. Why do people waste their money on Apple products?

I'll buy anything if it's shiny and made by apple.

I know I find Apple products to be over-hyped, restrictive, and over-priced. I know the iPad is missing key features that push it toward worthless. However, with all these articles on Tom's I found myself defending the iPad to total strangers this morning in a coffee shop. I keep repeating, "It just works!" over and over again...

Why even try to keep a platform closed? Just embrace enabling instead of restricting people. It only enhances the product, generates more revenue and encourages innovation.

I agree,

Enough about the big itouch.

I usually come here to read about the latest hardware... motherboards, video cards etc. Now I have to sift through a whole bunch of Apple nonsense to find anything of value to me.

Please stop using the word intuitive in your articles.

I really think that anyone that uses the word intuitive is not playing with a full deck.

Intuitive means “perceiving by intuition”. One definition of intuition is “direct perception of truth, fact, etc., independent of any reasoning process; immediate apprehension.”

The use of this word when describing an electronic device is comical.

Most hardware enthusiasts are rolling their eyes patiently waiting for this hype to die down.

Please no more. Anymore and you may have to change your site to

itards.com

Don't worry about banning me..... I am banning myself for life.

Apple's marketing targets those who are independent of any reasoning process.

somebody needs to write some virii already so all the mac fan boys can have one less thing to try to brag about!

anyhow.. i love my iphone and all, but I'm not going to spend $600+ for an iPad.

Oh you poor babies. You hate anything Apple and despise the iPad because it won't play Crysis or encode an hour of H264 video in 10 minutes flat. When will you get it? The iPad is a "content delivery device" not a "content creation device".

You must be so upset that reviewers actually like it and the experience of using it. And that Apple is selling them like crazy to everyone, not just Apple "iDrones" or "sheeple". Interesting, the only other time I hear the word "sheeple" is from all those 9/11 conspiracy nuts or fans of Zeitgeist (sp).

No Flash support? Looks like websites are starting to switch to HTML5 for video, even Youtube has done this. You must really hate the fact that developers are actually spending time converting their websites to work with the iPad (HTML5). Or that the iPad may be the catalyst to start a quicker adoption of HTML5 so we can get away from having to rely on 3rd party plugins to view content.

Speaking of which, it's funny how people complain about the iPad being "restrictive". And you're telling me that FORCING me to install a plugin (Flash) so I can go online and view websites isn't being "restrictive"? I thought you guys were about open standards? Hypocrites.

Even Tom's is getting upset at all you haters constantly whining about the amount of iPad content here. If you don't like it, then don't bother reading the threads.

Do you have a craving for brains too?

Me and my wife read the iPad hate comments daily. Its like reading the daily comics. You make my 2 year olds tantrums seem mild.

Apple is like any other company. Trying to make some money on a product. Company loyalty or hate is halarious.

Grow up- your past embarrasing

U dont get it, chap, its all about freedom of choice... including freedom to install whatever U want.
But, if U enjoy your Apple jail...

Wow, sad that we even have to hack a tablet to use it.
Downright depressing. =(

They should have put OSX on it instead...

I dont think YOU get it doc70...

The apps are what make this device actually useful. Things are formatted to this form factor and make it way more productive as a multimedia device then if it had windows on it.

Give it a whirl. You should have some hands on time before you preach!

You're the one NOT getting it, jailbreaking allows you to run pirated apps, it's the same as an xbox 360, do you think everyone who has a jailbroken device knows how to code in objective C and creates his or her own apps ? HA ! give me a break.

This is done so some clown on the street can sell you a CD holding 200 apps for 5 dollars. Jeez, how clueless can you be...

Have you called in your harriers already ?

And you sir are a serious ahole. $5 for 200 apps or 2.5 cents per app. And I suppose those developers that do know how to program in C are happy to work hard to develop an app that some prick like you can pirate and give away for free?

I suppose you also think Adobe is ripping people off for programs like Photoshop and you feel justified in torrenting AudoCAD.

Now you haters make so much sense - you're just a bunch of crooks who probably collect welfare and think the world owes them a living. It's all so clear now.

Hilarious thanks for that.

My iphone is not jailbroken, and I do buy my apps at the appstore, I don't pirate them. Not sure about all the other weird stuff you said making any sense though, what's with Adobe ? I do know however that I don't appreciate you insulting me, but you're not making sense anyway so whatever.

In any case, you should take a look around your own streets, these things happen all the time, you're just not aware of them.

ericburnby, I guarentee those most of the worlds population would choose free over pay...especially unlocking phones. Why do you think iPhones are expensive?...I'm sure its half of the price to make it but also they need to make profit from those who unlock it.

and why bring up Adobe? What average Joe would spend $1000 on PS or any other program for personal use? To be honest I would spend that money on MJ \ computer part(s) - although mines practically top of the line AMD\ATI \ BEER

Not that I do those stuff just making a point on the person who cries that he gets to pay and others don't.
