There have been huge speculations whether or not the iPad is jail-breakable or not. However, the good news for our old iPhone users is that the iPad is jail-breakable and the Spirit Jailbreak tool does the trick. As we had mentioned in a recent article that though Cydia has appeared on the iPad, its still a bit buggy.
A lot of developers are optimizing their apps for Cydia and at this moment we aren’t sure if there would be a separate Cydia category for iPad apps. But given that a lot of Cydia apps are already working on the Apple iPad (Wifi as well as 3G version), it would be great to have a guide to all those fantastic hacks.
