Moreover, this is also an iPhone 3.1.3 Jailbreak. Even better, this is an untethered jailbreak, so previous iPhone Blackra1n Jailbreak will be extremely happy.

Note from Spirit: “On iPad, all this is still sort of beta. Some packages in Cydia, not designed for iPad, might screw up your system and require you to restore. Be careful. (And no, Cydia’s appearance is not final.)”
