Apple confirmed that one million iPads were sold in just 28 days against 74 days to reach the same milestone with the iPhone.
Also a survey conducted with the people waiting in line to buy their iPads revealed that nearly 57% thought that the basic 16 GB model was the preferred choice. 29% were in line for the 32GB model ($729), and 14% decided to go all out and buy the king of all iPads, the 64GB iPad 3G ($829).
according to a Twitte from @Comex, the new jailbreak tool ( Spirit) will not availble on Friday! Sorry …
Spirit jailbreak will be out tomorrow (Friday).
At some point after (don’t ask when!) the iPad 3G is actually in customers’ hands, the first “userland” jailbreak since firmware 1.x will be released by @comex. It’s called “Spirit” and was first demonstrated working on an iPad by @MuscleNerd within 24 hours of the iPad’s release on April 3. Userland jailbreaks are more troublesome for Apple since they expose security weaknesses that exist even for non-jailbroken owners. As such, Apple is likely to close them soon after they’re made public. One recent example of this is the SMS vulnerability exposed at Blackhat last summer. Apple released new firmware to close that hole within a day. The Spirit jailbreak is most useful for newer devices: iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3G, and the iPads. Unfortunately those devices are the same ones that Apple can prevent you from downgrading unless you’ve got a backup of your personalized SHSH blobs. Unless you’ve backed up your SHSH blobs for vulnerable firmware versions, you’ll lose the ability to use the current Spirit jailbreak if you accidentally upgrade. Please take the steps now to backup your SHSH blobs. Use either Firmware Umbrella to create a local copy, or go through saurik’s server. If you are getting an iPad 3G, it’s safest to backup your blobs using Firmware Umbrella, in case saurik’s server gets bogged down with requests. Other things about Spirit that are useful to know: Spirit is an untethered jailbreak. Spirit works on all devices. (However, the redsn0w and PwnageTool flows will continue to work on those devices they’ve always worked on) Spirit does not include a carrier unlock. (Please don’t bug @comex about that) Spirit requires your device to be activated or hacktivated Please make sure you have your SHSH blobs backed up! While @comex has indicated he’s not going to release the very minute the iPad 3G is out, there’s no telling what Apple might do anyway.

Apple‘s just sent an invite “for a sneak peek of the next generation of iPhone OS software” on April 8 at 10AM Pacific. That’s in three days!

Here is a download links for iPhone OS 3.1.2. I know that this is not the latest firmware but I think everyone should have this files.
You can find full list of iPhone firmware (1 to 3) here.
Few hours ago Dev-Team released their new PwnageTool that can jailbreak iPhone OS 3.1.3. Unfortunately this version can’t jailbreak iPodTouch 3G nor iPhone 3GS!
iPhone 3GS users still be aware to update to this new version of OS (3.1.3), if you update accidentally like me you have to wait until the next releases of Dev-Team tools.
You can find the whole article here at Dev-team Blog.
Official Releases
Unofficial Mirrors
If you want to use Appsync (installd, mobileinstallation patch, etc) on your iPhone you should wait for Dev-Team to release their new tools that support OS 3.1.3. I highly recommend you to wait…
