Funny you mention adobe, wasn't one of the jailbreaks through just opening up a PDF file in safari?
Adobe, the company that produces security-bug laden memory hogging software
With all due respect to anyone who has any type of idevice, no-duhh!
Jailbreaking is literally breaking a part of the software, the part that currently helps protect your idevice from being open to the malware/viruses that lurk on the net.Apple is going to have to really work on creating some AV and Firewall protection soon.
That being said I personally am somewhat for jailbreaking, but I dont have my ipad jailbroken myself. I have no reason to jailbreak, I dont need multitasking, and although I would love to have root access so that I can use my ipad as a external drive (or connect to one), it is not something I really need. I think that the main reason most people jailbreak an ipod/ipad is to install pirated apps. The Iphone owners on the otherhand, I encourage every single one to jailbreak, so that they are not locked into any single carrier.
