GeoHot, maker of the blackra1n jailbreak is planning on making a jailbreak for this device. He will go down in history if he is the first iPhone Hacker to release iPad Jailbreak. We will all have to see!

The iPad is amazing. But does not have Multi-Tasking features. Just disappointing. I still believe it will be possible to Jailbreak the iPad as long as people keep it up. Me well this is the only time I will post this anywhere. Once the iPad is released I will be working on a Jailbreak for it. Should take me around 3 days to 2 weeks depending on the security on the device. Thanks! Have a great day!
