RIM Playbook jail broken
Forgive me if this is old news. I haven't seen it anywhere here.

Here is a Globe & Mail article saying that the RIM Playbook has been jail broken.

With its new $199 price, this might make for a good Christmas for them, though they claim to intend to fix the hole with an update.

Aside from the line that says (paraphrased) "Root access lets you watch Hulu," is there anything else reported that the root allows you to do?

It can make the PlayBook hover off the floor at reading level.

That sounds like something I would be interested in!

Apparently they also figured out how to install the market, so you can now get android apps on the playback.
