Spirit is a software tool which can jailbreak (not unlock) all iPhone’s (iPhone (Edge), iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS) and iPod touches (iPod touch 2G and 3G) running on the firmware version 3.1.3 and 3.1.2 untethered. It can also Jailbreak iPad and iPad 3G on firmware 3.2 – untethered. It’s a very simple procedure that monly takes a few minutes, here’s how to do it.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that you have your SHSH files saved. You can jailbreak without saving SHSH files but you wont be safe once Apple patches the exploit used by Spirit. Follow the instructions posted here to save your SHSH blobs.
NOTE: This is an early Jailbreak and not many Cydia apps are signed for the iPad properly yet. Make sure that you install with caution. As always, use the following tutorial at your OWN RISK.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
