Super news, and finally a reason for me to jailbreak my apple handheld/portable devices. I sure love the devices, but the lockdown factor Apple crams down the customers neck is offputting, to put it mildly. Looking forward to trying this, especially on my iPad.
For all those whining about the lockdown methods of Apple in regards to "i" devices, it's preaching to the choir, even to us that own said devices, locked or unlocked. We know Apple's regime for controlling apps, and some jailbreak to get around it. End result is I've used every smartphone on the market and I've found the iPhone to be the one device that comes closer than any other for an all in one/carry one only device. I'm far from an Apple fanboy, I simply use what works for me. The iPad on the other hand is mostly just eyecandy and a timesink "read a book in bed" device, and an expensive one at that.
