Traditionally the iPhone & iPod Touch jailbreak involved a tethered boot. You would need a computer with your iDevice connected via USB during boot time for the jailbreak to work.
In the firmware 1.x days, there was a vulnerability which let people do untethered jailbreak.
@Comex has found an exploit to run an untethered jailbreak on all iDevices including the latest firmware 3.1.2/3.1.3 for iPhone and iPod Touch and firmware 3.2 for Apple iPad.
Usual Warning: Make sure you backup with iTunes sync. This guide is for educational purposes only – in other words – if it makes your iPad unusable (albeit rare), you are on your own.
