You should jailbreak your iPad at your own risk and it may void your warranty.
Make sure your iPad is updated to at least iOS 4.1 if not iOS 4.2.1.
Make sure to keep your iPad secure after you have jailbroken. Tips to do so are mentioned in the Safety tips article on iPad.net.
These set of instructions are only for Mac users. A windows guide will also be available soon.
It is recommended you perform jailbreaking on a clean restore. If you face problems and you haven’t restored, you can try doing this.

So once you are ready, it’s time to Jailbreak your iPad!

1) Go to the greenpoison website (www.greenpois0n.com) and download the latest version of greenpoison. It should ideally read as greenpois0n RC5_b3. 2) Once you have downloaded it, click on the zip file and extract the files. Double click on the greenpoison icon to launch the application. The application will open. 3) Connect your iPad to your computer and then switch the iPad off. 4) On the greenpoison application click on the Jailbreak button. 5) You need to get your iPad into the DFU mode. The instructions will be mentioned on the application.

6) First, hold the sleep button for a period of 3 seconds. 7) Then keep holding the sleep/wake button and then press and hold the home button for 10 seconds. 8) Instructions on the application will change based on whether you are doing it correctly. 9) Once the 10 seconds have passed, the instructions will tell you to release the sleep/wake button but continue holding the home button. 10) Once the iPad enters the DFU mode- the jailbreaking process will begin. Make sure you do not release the home button.

11) After the process gets completed you will be told to leave the home button. 12) Then click on the complete button which closes the application. Also, you will see a verbose mode of scrolling on your iPad to indicate the completion of the process. 13) After this your iPad will reboot. Once the iPad switches back on, you will see a new app called as ‘Loader’ on the home screen. 14) Tap on this app and then select Cydia. Install Cydia by tapping on the Cydia button. 15) Once Cydia is installed you may wish to uninstall the Loader application since it is not longer required. Voila! Your iPad is now jailbroken. Reboot you iPad, then open Cydia and download the latest updates, app and customising options. Welcome to the wonderful world of Jailbreaking! Enjoy!
