As expected and blogged about few days ago userland jailbreak "Spirit" is now successfully ported to Apple iPad courtesy of iPhone Dev Team member MuscleNerd, within a day of sale the iPad OS 3.2 is been exploited allowing jail-breakers to get access to the root of the system, the hack which is a variation of "Spirit jailbreak" recently used to successfully exploit iPhone OS 3.1.3 is expected to use the same browser-based exploit allowing users to jailbreak their iDevices without any complicated process right from their mobile Safari web-browser.
In an video MuscleNerd demonstrated his very early work on porting the "Spirit" jailbreak to Apple iPad which allowed him to login into iPad as root, quite some works is still needed to have an full-functional, consumer-grade jailbreak from this point but it's now only a matter of time and effort as hackers have now access to the inner workings of the OS via this exploit.
