A video demonstrating early work on porting the "Spirit" jailbreak by @comex to iPad has been posted on YouTube by MuscleNerd.

The "Logging into the iPad...jailbreak style" video shows commands being executed from the iPad root shell.

Its still unclear if comex plans to release the userland jailbreak now or wait until 4.0 comes out.

Take a look!

Maybe the freedom to not be held down by being told what software we can use on our products. There are tons of great third party software apps we will never get because some monkey in a box gets to choose what I get to purchase. So we void our warranty and jailbreak and make our iphones and hopefully ipads truly our own. Keep up the great work Dev teams!!

Apparently HO has never experienced a JB, otherwise that's a pretty ridiculous question

OMG why is there always that guy that just has to bring up voiding the warranty? Uh, we know that and we knew that when we hacked our phones too. And guess what? We don't care.

Yea, "Jay" is probably one of those guys that does everything by the book. He probably has a bike he rides with his helmet and knee pads and a built in seat belt. Freakn L 7
