Apple's iPad is selling well, but hackers have been busy and the iPad has already been jailbroken, according to postings online.

iPad jailbroken in less than a day

Yesterday, Twitter user MuscleNerd posted a video and picture of what appears to be a jailbroken iPad, credited to hacker Comex. Comex is a member of the iPhone Dev team, who have also said that a jailbreak is possible but have yet to release it.

Both attacks appear to depend on the use of a variant of the Spirit application that is used to crack iPhones.
