Didn't take long, did it?

It was always going to happen.

The iPad 2 has only been out for a weekend in the US, and already some plucky young upstart has broken one open.

Comex, the man behind the original iPhone 4 jailbreak, has got his white 3G iPad 2 running Cydia. According to Comex's Twitter feed, the hack required all-new exploits to get round Apple's recent fixes for iOS 4.3, which renderred previous exploits like Limera1n useless.

There's no word from Comex yet about public release, but we'd expect it to emerge in the next couple of weeks.
