Can the ipad2 be jailbroken?

I had an iPad and to me it was a overgrown iPhone but then I would go for iPhone over android but then again u will get mixed reviews here that will be this or that so best for u to go have a play go to apple store and have a play then go have a play with a android see what u like


At present no ipad2 can't be jailbroken

i suggest Samsung Tab 10.1 which will come out soon. On engadged you can find review which is very promising.

There's just no other way to say it: the iPad 2 finally has a real competitor. If Samsung could somehow undercut Apple by even $25 here, the choice would be obvious, but it's going to have a whale of a time convincing the masses that a Samsung device is superior to one Designed in California when prices are equal. That said, we'd still recommend the Tab 10.1 over the iPad 2 for heavy Gmail users and all-around fans of Android. And hey, at least this thing can take advantage of Music Beta, if you're into it.

Personally, I wouldn't really be able to answer this without actually going and having a play with both in the flesh... But, I would say that I would likely be swayed towards the samsung because of how much more open android is compared to ios...

I've also been looking at the Motorola Zoom, any opinions on this?

I haven't tried the xoom, but I know that motorola android phones are quite restrictive... I purchased a flipout to keep me going while waiting for phone on insurance. It's locked down, so cannot install a custom rom (to be able to use newer android of versions usually), so am stuck with any motorola releases... So, I would say to stick with a highly popular device (and, afaik, no samsungs have been difficult to put on custom roms...)

How about the ACER Iconia Tab A500 or ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101 ?

Just had this email come through. Only 500 in stock apparantly, and 50 already sold. It's only 7" though, so dunno whether it's a deal breaker. But at £250 sounds a steal...
