Just after the iPad 3G released to U.S. customers, hackers have released an untethered jailbreak method for any iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch on firmware 3.1.2, 3.1.3, or 3.2.
While jailbreaking software, which allows users to install and run software that's not approved by Apple, has been available for the iPhone and iPod touch, this release is completely new for the iPad.
Called Spirit Jailbreak, it allows for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch users to jailbreak their phones without being connected to a computer. It is not a carrier unlock solution though, so those looking to run their phones on other networks shouldn't use this. (The iPad 3G has no carrier lock, though.)
If this sounds like the way you want to get around Apple's App Store, then check out the jailbreak software here.
Now the question remains whether or not Apple will have patched up this security hole yet by the time the iPad releases in the rest of the world later this month.
In related news, those with the new iPad 3G may be interested to know that some havehacked it work on T-Mobile and also be able to send text messages.
