6 Great Apps for your jailbroken iPad
The IPAD is really a tablet PC revolutionizing Universal, and Apple has done an excellent job to bring it to ground. There is currently one of the most sought after and sold devices and the iPhone 4 and the new iPod Touch with Retina display and 2 cameras. The secret of its success lies not only in marketing great that Apple has done, but also in the fact that it is very easy to use, and any person from a first-year student at 70 years (which are generally very computer illiterate) can use it.
But beyond those people, there are many users who do not think the iPad offers them everything he can. That's because Apple has done the same something with it they have with the iPod Touch and iPhone: they introduced restrictions virtual software that really should not be there.
The reasoning behind this is that it keep the device functional and safe from any accidental or intentional damage by the user. It's a great thing, but the disadvantage is that more experienced users can not use it to its full potential. Fortunately, there is a solution for this problem and is called "jailbreaking". It has been around a long time since the first iPhone, and because the IPAD uses the same operating system, it is not difficult the jailbreak either. To give you an idea of what would be your iPad able to do if you jailbreak, here are some applications you can not install on a device stock, only on a jailbroken.
OpenSSH. OpenSSH is a great SSH client that allows you to connect to any remote server you like using an encryption protocol. It is an excellent tool for any system administrator and owner of the site because it allows them to manage their site and server where they are. And with the larger keyboard and screen IPAD, it is easier than ever.
Backgrounder. If you have not upgraded to the new iOS 4 (which unfortunately can not be jailbroken yet), then you can always get multitasking capabilities by using this application. It is actually better than the stock that comes with multitasking iOS 4 because it allows you to run multiple applications at once, and not just freeze in the background.
IntelliScreen. IPAD has a large screen lock. And it is almost completely empty! It is not very good, and with a jailbreak and application IntelliScreen, you can easily configure it to display your latest e-mails, messages, notifications and other civil things. This way you can have all the emergency notifications to you as soon as you turn the display – no need to go for unlock and go to separate applications.
Activator. Activator is an application that allows you to enjoy the surroundings gesture that comes with an information document. It lets you install and configure different actions for almost any function you want. For example you can run applications, change settings, tasks (such as synchronization) and other things using only one quick movement on the large touch screen. Very handy, and you do not come iOS with 4!
Veency. This is a VNC client for the IPAD amazing. Veency use, you can connect to a remote VNC server, such your home office or a remote Web server, and do everything that you are in front of this computer. It is very powerful and useful for many people.
Winterboard. Winterboard simply lets you customize the home screen with your own backgrounds, icons and special effects. If you still wanted to do since you bought your iPad, well, now you know how you can do.
Of course, there are risks, but they are certainly offset by potential gains. The only thing you must remember is to follow the instructions carefully and jailbreaking not mess with the file system much if you do not understand what you are doing. If you do this, you will most certainly be very good.
