bigb0ss,
Welcome,
WAIT, don't do it yet. The redsnOw untethered jailbreak is just now in beta test. Wait until the final version comes out, soon hopefully if the beta goes well, and save yourself a lot of grief. Read back through these post, and see all the problems people have had with the tethered jailbreak. If you are and expert, proceed with caution!!
Download the manual and learn all you can about the iPad, before you even consider jailbreaking. There are so many tweaks, utilities, themes available on Cydia, that it would be hard to say which would appeal to you. But, believe me you will be overwhelmed with choices.
In line with what the Moderator said above, support our developers by buying their apps. If they can't break even on their expenses at least, then they won't write apps any more. No apps on iDevices = just a dumb phone.
