iPad and iPhone Jailbreak

Last night I decided to jailbreak both my new iPad and my iPhone. The process was very simple indeed using the Spirit Jailbreak from www.spiritjb.com. I made sure both devices were fully backed up and synced with iTunes, connected them and simply ran the software.

Spirit is an untethered jailbreak, meaning you don't have to run it
every time you boot your device.

My primary reason for jailbreaking is so that I can try out the "MyWi" app from the Rock store. This enables you to turn your iPhone into a mobile WiFi hotspot, allowing you to get data on your WiFi iPad practically anywhere. Strictly I did not need to jailbreak the iPad to use this, but the prospect of running multiple applications using "Backgrounder" was enough to persuade me!
