Hey guys I m new to iPad... Is it really worth jail breaking your iPad? If yes, what are the benefits?

Just did the jailbreak on my 4S with Absinthe about 24 hours ago. Already LOVING the changes. I can't wait to jailbreak my iPad 2 after I get some sleep. (The jailbreak, as we know, takes like 5 seconds, but doing an iTunes backup takes FOREVER on my computer.)
Yay.

I know you know, but now have a look at this thread for some great ideas on which tweaks to try/use: http://www.ipadforums.net/showthread.php?t=25824
And, since I'm here, let me recommend my three favorites for the iPad: iKeywi, SwipeSelect and BrowseInApp. They run beautifully...

hi.. this is a silly question, i am so new to JB and tweak. i have Cydia...
So i can download everything mentioned here by opening Cydia in my Ipad, right? I mean, Cydia can only be open in my IPad? right?
Or does it have a site like itunes where i can download/purchase everything and sync it to my ipad?
this is so embarassing...but i hope somebody answer me. thanks in advance...

Oh! Sorry, but you cannot do an over-the-air (OTA) update for the iOS on a jail broken iPad. You must update the jailbroken iPad using your computer and iTunes.
So, connect the iPad to iTunes, make a backup and then press the Restore button (on the main Summary tab). iTunes should then do the steps to upgrade it. Once it's done, don't put your backup on, select the set-up as new option.
Then, run the Absinthe jail break. Once it's done and your iPad is jail broken again, then you can hook the iPad back up to iTunes and select "Restore from Backup" after right clicking on the iPad (under devices). This action won't mess up your jail break, it'll just put all the apps, data and settings back on from the backup you made.
Hope this helps.
