Go for it.
I love my JB ipad 3 on 5.1.1.
I would never go stock if I dont have to.

Ok thanks, any good tutorials?

Also what is this untethered/tethered I hear? Any difference?

Does it matter if I have a Verizon IPad?

Ditto and it worked perfect. The newest redsnow is sweet.

Its untethered. Meaning you can turn it on and off at any time without any problems.
Works fine with wifi and GSM/CDMA carrier ipads on 5.1.1
Check out this tutorial.

Ok thanks will do,

Final question, are all apps free with this?

Nope they are not all free, but many tweaks are

Tethered means everytime you fully shut off your device, you need to connect it to your computer and reboot using whatever software you jailbroke with.
Untethered means you can turn it on and off whenever you please, and it'll always load SpringBoard and Cydia.

I think the easiest way to jailbreak is sn0wbreeze, just select your IPSW, customize it, or go "Simple Mode", and then wait, then use iTunes to restore it.
