New iPad (3rd Generation) Jailbroken Using Third Method

This may sound crazy but the jailbreak community now has three methods to jailbreak the new iPad on iOS 5.1.

The first one was revealed by the iPhone Dev team (they probably would have set a Guinness world record if there was one for the fastest jailbreak for an iOS device), ic0n1c quickly followed it up by releasing a video demoing of his  untethered jailbreak for the new iPad.

Grant Paul a.k.a chpwn has revealed that he and phoenixdev have also successfully jailbroken the third generation iPad using a different method.

chpwn tweeted:

And here are the screenshots of Cydia running on the new iPad:

MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev team has confirmed that i0nic and chpwn + phoenixdev have used different methods to jailbreak the new iPad (iPad3,3).

Now that we've three jailbreak methods, it remains to be seen if the jailbreak community will work together to use just one of the methods to release the jailbreak to the public or try to be the first to release the jailbreak.
