New iPad Jailbroken Already

Posted by samzenpus on from the what-took-so-long? dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Just hours after the new Apple iPad was released, it was jailbroken in three (how appropriate!) separate ways. This means that hackers have already found and exploited security holes to run custom code on the new iPad with iOS 5.1. The tools for jailbreaking your new iPad aren't yet available, but this first step means the software will be developed sooner rather than later."

    Most stupid name for a product ever. Of course, Apple fans will never admit it. Most probably angrily deny it. But even the most rabid fan only needs to wait a couple of months for the stupidity of this marketing strategy to really sink in. Steve Jobs, for all his flaws, never would have stepped in it this way. It is Apple execs trying to fill Steve Jobs' oversized shoes by coming up with something "cool". Like not having a product name. Wow. Impending customer confusion. Must be cool.
