I wanted to use my external bluetooth gps reciever on it (I only have the cheapo base model so no inbuilt gps) so I had no choice but the jailbreak it as apple wouldn't let you connect to external devices at that time, no idea if they have changed that policy now.

I also object to having to pay for software I have already paid for just because I have a new device, so from that point of view, yes I'm happy
I wasn't able to exchange files from iPad to iPhone and other way around. I found a great app about it. It is called transfer. I can now transfer all my pictures and videos to my iPad.

It bugs me that I can't play flash nor that I can't upload pictures on Internet like this forum.

My.. err.. brother-in-law already jail broke his iPad 2 last summer. So what are you waiting for?

He is completely happy with that. Especially loads of "gratis" apps...
My version is 5.0.1 which is not yet available.

OK......but is it just a geek thing (no offense) to be able to do it to stick it to the man...
It's an apple product. Of course it's not a geek thing.

Geeks root their android phones.

I use Dropbox for exchanging stuff between all my machines and ICloud syncs the rest for me. Dropbox also allows you to publish photo albums and files with none Dropbox users.

Was going to post this now, but you got ahead its always just a matter of time before the devices get jailbroken.

I'm planing on getting an ipad, and in my case there will be an advantage to jailbrake it - app developing. If I don't jailbrake it, I have to pay the dev fee 99$ just to be able to test my apps on my ipad, and i think to myself, are you kidding me? -.-' (it costs 99$ per year to be in the Dev program, that allows you to sell apps on the app store, but you also need it to test your apps on a non broken ipad... )
