What a week it has been for the iPad 3G. The 3G model of the magical Apple Tablet arrived on Friday and since then has been the most hot topic in the gadget world. The latest development of the jailbroken iPad reveals that the iDevice can be used to send SMS over 3G network. MuscleNerd, the iPhone Dev Team member  is the person behind this huge achievement.

This was expected considering the fact that the 3G model of the Apple Tablet was jailbroken within hours of its launch with Spirit once again the driving force. MuscleNerd managed to get the SMS thing working by using a command line tool. All that remains now is the graphical version which I am sure will be hitting Cydia when the time is right.

Speaking of jailbreaking iPad, Spirit, the first jailbreak tool for iPad could be arriving any moment now. To make sure you are prepared for it, you need to save your iPad SHSH blob, so that you don’t lose your jailbreak capability. See the how to guide for saving the ECID SHSH here.
