Beardydog writes "Jailbreakme.com has been officially updated, providing the first public method for jailbreaking the iPad 2, and the easiest method for jailbreaking most other iOS devices. The jailbreak works with iOS 4.3.3, and it is recommended that users update before a new release from Apple closes the vulnerability exploited by the jailbreak."

Because the thousands of geeks with an iPhone or iPad would like to know this?

Get over yourself.
Plenty of "real" geeks own iDevices.

Why don't you buy hardware that you can actually own? You know, so that you're not afraid that Apple will lock you out of your own hardware.

Ouch, this must be a bit of a pain. Maybe a good opportunity to try something outside the walled garden for a change? :)

Sounds like you did a lot of stupid things in a row. If you don't know enough to backup your device before you mess with it you shouldn't be jailbreaking/rooting.

Yeah, why learn a lesson about backups, when you can just buy a new phone, replace any applications you bought, and then... uhh... learn to backup the new phone.
Why is this modded insightful?
