Show Notes

Benefits:

AirPlay Video:
Any app that uses standard controls for video can now AirPlay video (No Hulu)
NoMute - Returns Hardware Orientation Lock
Turn Your iPad into an AirPlay speaker for your Mac or iOS device
Experience Cydia - Redone for iPad - Landscape and More SBSettings lets you access more controls
All the other great JB things

Drawbacks
If a reboot is done outside of using an app on the Mac/Windows machine you will loose the JB apps etc.
Still will boot but your JB stuff just doesn't work
Upgrading OS is slower and more painful - instead of a 10 minute process it can take an entire day to return things to normal
More crash prone - so far so good

How to JB
