The iPad has been jailbroken

Just in case you missed it on Sunday, members of the infamous iPhone Dev-Team have been hard at work on a jailbreak for the recently released iPad. ~~As of a few hours ago~~ Within the past day, root access has been achieved on Apple's latest device. The hack is not yet ready for public distribution but according to one of the developers, it will work with all versions of both the iPhone and iPod touch and likely the iPad 3G. TUAW will have more information for you as it becomes available.

I have a jailbroken iPhone 3GS and I use Winterboard (themes) and FontSwap and I have changed iPhone fonts, especially for the Notes App, but also the System font to Calibri.

You could just go directly to the source: MuscleNerd, view his YouTube channel here: http://www.youtube.com/user/MuscleNerd and not have to rely on sites no one has ever heard of for information like this.

I don't get it, why jailbreak the iPad? What can you honestly do with it, that is different than now?

Hopefully it will work with the iPod Touch 3G running 3.1.3. Got mine two weekends ago and haven't been able to jailbreak it (or downgrade to 3.1.2) yet.

Currently out of the box iPhones/iPod Touch's cannot be jailbroken when they shipped with 3.1.3 installed.
