There was a lot of buzz in the weeks leading up to the official iPad release date as to how quickly the device would be jailbroken. Less than 24 hours after the launch, the inevitable has already happened.

The infamous iPhone Dev-Team was able to gain root access the hottest new device on the market. The crew claims that the hack isn’t ready yet for public distribution, but promise they are working on it. According to the team, it will work with all versions of both the iPhone and iPod touch (and likely the iPad 3G as well).

I don’t jailbreak my devices, and I don’t plan to start with the iPad. However, I know that many people do. Keep in mind that performing these actions will completely void your warranty, and can render your device unusable in some instances.
