iPad 2 Jail broken 2 Days after Launch

Cydia running on a white iPad 2       The iPad 2 has only been out two days, but yet it has already been hacked. An iPhone developer and hacker called Comex has apparently been working on a jailbreak ever since he got his white iPad 2. According to his Twitter stream (@ comex ), the jailbreak could have been ready yesterday, but he had to search for a whole new exploit.       This jailbreak allows the user to run Cydia, an alternative app store, which also allows many more features, on his or her iPad. Engadget says that Comex is apparently hard at work getting this jailbreak out to the public and available as an easy process as soon as possible, so, iPad 2 owners, expect to be able to hack your new device very soon.

It was the first majorly successful tablet PC, and started the 2011 "Tablet Rush".      At an event earlier today, Apple's CEO Steve Jobs announced the next generation of the iPad: the iPad 2. Steve Jobs was, or maybe still is, on medical leave. There had been reports that he had only six weeks to live, and pictures of him walking out of treatment very thin, so everybody was relieved when he walked on stage, looking just like he did a year ago.      The iPad 2 is thinner, lighter, and has a faster processor than it's predecessor. It comes in WiFi only and 3G models, both of which are 9.50 inches high, and 7.31 inches wide. They are also both only 0.34 inches thick, making it easier to hold than the original iPad. Also, the WiFi version weighs 1.33 pounds, with a the 3G  version weighing in at 0.1 pound heavier. Both the WiFi and 3G models come in 16, 32, and 64 gigabyte versions.
