There is one that is currently demod and only available to the iPhone hacking community (see related links below).

Just wait a few months and it will be released.

Yes, you can jailbreak an iPad. You can use either Spirit or Blackrain. These are reliable untethered jailbreak for your iPad. This includes using all different apps, making system tweaks, fixes and more. See the related links for more info.

You can use the app store and iTunes also. Hope this info helps.

The ePad (aka the aPad) cannot be jailbroken because it does not run on apple software. It, in fact, runs on android OS. It Is referred to as ePad and aPad, but when you buy it, you find out that it is actually called the Superpad. The first one runs on android 2.1, and the second and third run on android 2.2. It cannot be jailbroken, but can do the similar task as other android devices. It can be rooted to unlock new features that are not included in the device. If you are just looking for free apps, go to applanet.net on your android device and Applanet will be downloaded. I use Applanet on my Droid-X for apps and games that you have to pay for in the Android Market. It works great for me, but if you are looking into doing other cool stuff with your android device (in this case, the ePad) go to the link below to learn how to root your device. The article specifies the G1, My Touch 3G, and the Nexus One, but it actually works with all android operated systems. Once you root it, you can look up things to do with your rooted device on Google and YouTube. I find youtube very helpful in things like jailbreaking, rooting, hacking, ect. If you have not yet bought the ePad/aPad/Superpad, I personally have looked into it and think that it would be a great value for your money. They range from about $100- $300, but you can find them cheap if you really look into it.

**EDIT START**

I forgot to mention that rooting a Superpad is slightly more difficult than on any other android device. Look up on youtube how to root the "ePad" and you will find that there is a missing component needed to root it. There is going to be something that you will have to download to receive this feature. Its not much more than the original way, its just a permission that was excluded on the Superpad. Once it is downloaded, it will be able to be rooted. LOOK IT UP!!! "rooting ePad" or "how to root ePad" or something like that. It will come up. I promise. It isn't that hard to find.

Yes,

But only if the iPad 2 has the right operating system. So if you don't have the iPad 2 yet, and you want to buy one and want to jail break it, you will not be able to until somebody figures out a way to bypass the system.

Yes! it's easy to jailbreak a tablet. First you need a computer charger for tablet. Then download a app called jainbreakmonitering, it is not found on tablet so you have to install it from the computer. Then you will have that app on your tablet. So, go to the app and it will give you the latest verison and click on it and go to your computer ativate it and there you go you have cydia and enjoy !! =)

Absolutely, it is amazingly simple. The jailbreak itself only takes a few minutes but it is recommended to backing up the shsh blobs before you jailbreak.
