How to Jailbreak your iPad.
Hi I’m new here. I purchased my iPad a month or so after it initially came out at the Apple Store Dadeland, and have been jailbreaking and utilizing it for a plethora of different, sometimes slightly unconventional ways.
I decided for the purposes of this tutorial to wipe the OS on my iPad (which was 3.2.1) and start from fresh. I found 3.2.2 is the only version not yet Jailbreak friendly so if you need to avoid updating to 3.2.2 or need to downgrade from 3.2.2 to another OS click Here. [Link to come soon] Even if your not restoring or updating anything you should sync to iTunes and even create a back up if you’d like to retain any of that information.

Princeton Clarifies On Weaker Wi-Fi Signals
Princeton University has unraveled the secret behind weaker Wi-Fi signal in iPad. According to the research carried by the IT department it comes out to be as the leasing problem with the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
