On: iPad jailbreak after less than 24 hours

[jsz0]

The iPad and gaming consoles share the same closed ecosystem, tight control of hardware, etc.

[buster → jsz0]

Gaming consoles are made for a single purpose: buy a game, play the game, done.

smartphones, tablets and PCs have much more use cases and the manufacturer wants to make me believe i can do "everything" with it. Oh wait, no, i can't.

Think of the iPad as a 'console' computer, and everything will fall into place...

But it clearly is no console, why would i think that, wtf?

sorry for the ambiguity. was meaning 'console' as in 'games console'. I was comparing it to XBox, PS*, DS etc.
