Send SMS Text Messages And MMS From iPad 2 3G Models Using SwirlyMessage / SwirlySMS [Jailbreak App]
SwirlySpace AB, developers of a suite of apps for both jailbroken iOS devices and non-jailbroken ones, have an app called SwirlyMessages for 3G-ready iPads which allows users to send/receive SMS and MMS.

JailbreakMe 3.0 continues its steady growth with 2 million jailbreaks already applied since the tool came out (officially) last week. The news was delivered by Grant Paul (also known as @chpwn) via his Twitter account.

JailbreakMe 3.0 has now been used over 1 million times since it came out only 2 short days ago, according to Grant Paul (known as @chpwn on Twitter), one of the project's contributors.

According to Craig Berger, an FBR Capital Markets analyst, the successor the iPad 2 won't be an iPad 3. Instead, it will allegedly be a higher-end iPad 2, dubbed the "iPad 2 Plus", planned for later this year, according to Berger. Is Apple changing its iPad release cycle?
If you've been keeping a close eye to the news over the last few days, you're probably aware of JailbreakMe 3.0, a simple untethered jailbreak that takes advantage of a PDF exploit in Mobile Safari. The wizards in the jailbreak community have engineered a fix that manages to preserve the jailbreak, at the same time as it stops unsuspecting users from launching a harmful PDF and having their devices taken over.
There are several ways to jailbreak iOS devices, but most of them are time-consuming as they require you to connect your device to your computer for the jailbreak to complete. Thankfully, JailbreakMe 3.0, just like previous versions, allows easy jailbreaks by simply visiting the JailbreakMe.com website, thanks to a PDF exploit in Safari.
