According to a very knowledgeable source, about 12% of iDevices in the world are jailbroken. But in China, a survey conducted in May 2011 says that a whooping 34.6% (about one-third) of iDevices in the country are jailbroken.

This week, Apple introduced their plan to reinvent the textbook on iPad, and deliver entire courses to students by iPad or iPhone. We know textbooks are heavy, expensive and contain outdated information.

It’s already a given that Apple’s iDevices (iPad, iPhone & iPod Touch) have very intuitive user interfaces and are extremely easy to use out of the box.
