It’s only been out for around 24 hours, and the Dev Team have already cracked it, that’s right, the iPad has been jailbroken. What else would I be talking about?
MuscleNerd from the Dev Team posted a picture, and also the following YouTube video on his twitter account showing how they’ve already got root acess into the device using a version of the Spirit jailbreak by fellow hacker Comex. This hack targets a bug in mobile Safari on firmware 3.1.3 on the iPhone, and 3.2 on the iPad which clearly doesn’t escape the same flaw.
There’s still a lot of work to do before it’s available for public consumption, but that’s all the proof we need for now. For those of you lucky enough to have your hands on one of the 700.000 iPad’s sold on launch day, it wont be long before you can start applying your own themes, sounds, and a whole host of other things I’m sure will become availble soon after it’s out there for the masses.
