Saturday is the day when you can finally get the latest, greatest Apple device: the iPad. Probably most of you will jailbreak this iDevice as well, but even if you won’t jailbreak it, you should save your ECID SHSH via Umbrella. Sony has shown us that removing functionality in FW updates is a legit concern. Preserve iPad 3.2 restores to TRUE factory FW.

If you have no idea what umbrella are we talking about, don’t worry, we’re gonna have a tutorial on how to do it. Stay tuned…

Here’s an interesting post by a blogger named teucher that echoes something we’ve heard from developers before — that the iPhone and the iPad will require completely different experiences. When the iPad was first announced, one of Apple’s big selling points was that it already had a full library of software ready to go — any iPhone app could and would easily run on the iPad.
