iPad iPad Jailbreak is fairly useless

I'm just waiting for Quasar to be updated, then my iPad will be complete.
I don't have much tweaks on it though. I would like to enjoy XBMC, but when using the Wizard after like 3 minutes, my iPad restarts, I see it in XBMC but it states "Error: No source found" when I select Navi-X.

If you don't think that a jailbreak for an iPad is useless then I think that you don't need an iPad. The only lacking thing for the iPad is themes. But the usability is the same if not better due to the size of the screen.
I played with XBMC on my ipad a little bit before I sold it a while ago. How did you access your external HD without a computer running?
Open up XBMCHub Wizard, tap "Configure for iPad".
Once that is done, open XBMC, go to Programs and tap on "Navi-X".
I have mine hooked through AirPort Extreme and in XBMC I entered the path

f.lux, adblocker, Nitrous and Springtomise make the jailbreak entirely worthwhile for me. Net result of above tweaks is nicer screen, fewer ads, faster non-Safari javascript and - a pet peeve of mine - the ability to make icons stay in the "correct" place between portrait and landscape.
iPad is the best jailbreakable experience I have more tweaks than with my iPhone (depend on it so can't mess around that much) snes emulators, themes you name it my iPad has it all
Sorta, especially when you realize that 100% of the themes don't support a majority of iPad apps.
It gave me more accessibility though (I can only use one hand and it's a PITA to use the buttons when they're all slanted. I actually can't use the iPod Touch for this reason too.), and that's one of the main reasons I hope they don't make it illegal to jailbreak tablets such as the iPad. AssistiveTouch is fine for the most part, but it's not enough and makes doing most things much slower. Plus it interferes with a few apps, mostly games.
Being able to pull up the multitasking bar with a swipe is really, really, really helpful for me.

Unfortunately it does not support Airplay unless you Airplay mirror and that doesn't take up much of the TV.
I reccommend for this to download XBMC on Iphone, and if it is a 5 to get full force to make it fit the resolution, then mirror it to ATV and it looks good, but not great.
I have no idea. I downloaded Safari Download Enabler and Safari Download Manager, and one or both of them are doing the trick.
I'm too lazy to uninstall one and figure out which one it is.
NEO.emu
NES.emu
SNES9x Ex+
MD.emu
That right there is the reason to jailbreak.
Also I like having bitesms for quick reply/quick compose.

I also can't wait for Quasar. I wonder if we'll have to pay for the new version or if the old version license will be good enough.
For some reason when I try to run Navi-x I get a script error. Any ideas on how to fix this?
I'm going to cancel my Netflix.
XBMC + a few free movie/TV sites from the Hub Wizard = epic video entertainment from this device.
Also a much better display app to completely mirror what's on the screen.
The video recording feature.
RetinaPad
FullForce
Intelliscreen
Winterboard + Ayecon iPad theme
PSX emulator
Magic Mouse + mouse tweak
Zephyr (swipe between apps, swipe up to close)
Dashboard X plus the widgets (clock/weather widget)
Adblock
The list is endless. If you're treating a jailbroken iPad like you would a jailbroken iPod Touch or iPhone, you're doing it wrong.
