\"\"<\/a>Wed the iPad HD should be out and in a few days or a week, we should have a working jailbreak. Although there has been evidence that there is an iOS6 out there somewhere, I’m not sure they would want to release a new OS on a non number release.\u00a0 Odds are we will see iOS6 on the iPhone 5 before seeing it on the iPad HD, but you never know.<\/p>\n

So if we can assume its going to be the same A5 chips as we see in the iPhone4s and Ipad2, then the current jailbreaks should work as a good starting point. Two separate tools were released for jailbreaking A5 based devices, one was Absinthe for Mac<\/a> by the Chronic Dev Team<\/span><\/a>, and the other one, which was a command line-based tool<\/a> for both Windows and Mac users by the iPhone Dev<\/span><\/a> Team.\u00a0 Read more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I do expect there will be a few odd things with the firmware on the iPad HD, so do not expect any of these jailbreaks to work out of the box, but barring a significant iOS update or new chip, it should not take more then a few weeks at most.<\/p>\n
