The JB process is fast and easy...but you better download the latest ver of spirit tho as the ver I used just deleted all my saved photo but that's no big deal tho consider that I have multitasking and some extra features now. Keep in mind that you just JB it and all the apps you installed from itunes appstore will still be there and use able. Be warn that only some of the cydia apps can be used for ipad for now....

Thanks for the feedback bro!

For me what I'm wanting is control over my processes ala sbsettings and also skinning the iPad!i have a feeling the mail app is bogging down my battery like the iPhone. Ok, gonna backup and jb right now.

Oh yeah the atomic browser is worth every 99 sen!

How was it? Winterboard working? Wanted to ask more but scared of banhammer laugh.gif

I'm only JB-ing to get access to processes, winterboard etc. No piracy for my iPad, so I don't see why the need for a banhammer.

Winterboard seems to crash on me. SB Settings still works, but crashes from time to time. The good thing is whenever it crashes restarting is SOOOO FAST biggrin.gif

Putting the banhammer aside, you use the latest release of spirit ?
Really wanted to to install winterboard on this baby
*
Yup, I'm on the latest Spirit - didn't cause me to lose any of my photos.

I'm keen to install winterboard too - will try again tonight, but i DO know the team is working hard on it.

BTW, anyone here have the Huaweri 5830? Am thinking of getting one...

None of my current apps (paid and free) crash with Spirit.

Ooppss.. I meant cydia apps...
Cydia utilies working fine?
Any cydia apps meant specifically for ipad?
*
As of now they're working on winterboard, but in a few weeks I think we'll see optimized versions of sbsettings, preference loader etc.
Cydia apps are still wonky but won't cause any damage as long as you know what you're doing...

Still wish that Apple would update its iWork suite to work properly, all I ask for is numbers and keynote to export back to MS format >.< and Docs To Go and QuickOffice still have not released an iPad optimized version of their apps yet, haih

Agreed bro, docs to go should be worth waiting for.

Don't get us wrong. It's not like the iPhone/iPad has replaced all conventional toys and learning aids. It's just another learning tool is all. =)

My kids still read real books and play with all their real toys 80% of the time.

exactly - my son still plays with his toy cars, reads books etc, the ipad is just an extension of that activity yawn.gif

Better to wait for the iPad optimized version to come along, I don't dig using the x2 mode for this app. They should have made it a launch app.

Ditto. I SO want to buy this app, but will wait for the optimised version, even if the update WILL be free - I'm also puzzled why this isn't a launch app.

So...as for now... what's your alternative in editing Word files?

Right now I don't edit my word files on the iPad, luckily my job requires me to read docs more than edit them but that may change soon. For that dropbox is enough as I can open any document I need and show it to client etc

hi guys, i got my iPad wifi version and have been enjoying it for the pass 2days. However, when i bring it out then only i realize how inconvenience to find a hotspot to surf...

kinda regret it, should have waited for the 3G version cause i didn't know the 3G can be used with any telco as long as the sim can go in. sad.gif

if i'm going to sell it and buy the 3G it's going to be a big waste of money lol. bah maybe i'll just stick to it since i sort if use it for educational purpose. sweat.gif
*
dont worry, you can either:

i) use your mobile phone as a 3G router
ii) buy a 3G wifi router and have TOTAL connectivity even in the car/train
iii) sell your ipad and wait for the 3g version

i'm going on option 2 as i also travel to places with limited wifi.

hmm actually you have a point for the router, at least i can share the connection using other laptop/device.

but after using the iPad for 2 days i can see the monster battery life i can literally sit in starbuck cafe whole day and i won't run out of battery. i believe using the 3G will still provide longer battery life...

maybe i should just stick with option 2...but the 3G is really tempting lol. sweat.gif
*
the battery is quite robust...i charged it fully last night, didn't use it till tonight and it was still 100%.

after some heavy surfing it went to 84% which is very respectable. I think jailbreaking affects battery life but still unsure.

if you're selling that ipad, trust me you can get a good price for it.

ah, looks like i prefer the 3G version than the MiFi solution, cause i don't need worry about the battery life and i've read that the 3G version seems to last just as long as the regular WiFi version.

still considering selling my 64GB iPad WiFi...

noted...whatever works for you smile.gif
so how much you selling the 64gb one for?
