Hackers have seeming strolled right past any security measure Apple has put into the new iPad, achieving jailbreaks within hours of its launch.Multiple hackers have announced their achievement, with the new device having been unlocked via at least three different measures - including untethered solutions.Jailbreaking iOS devices allows users access to a popular unofficial app Store called Cydia, through which they can download thousands of apps not available on the official iTunes App Store.According to the ZDNet report (via GI), it won't be long before the new iPad hacks are released and users can jailbreak their device - but hackers warn against installing any firmware updates on the third-gen iPad in case Apple patches its security flaws.The third iPad launched last Friday to positive reviews and rabid crowds.http://www.computerandvideogames.com/340580/new-ipad-jailbroken-within-hours/

Wow that's wicked, just like when the PS Vita came out - cracked wide open shortly after release. Untethered jailbreaks are ace!
