iPad text editing concept comes to life thanks to this jailbreak tweak When Cody posted about Daniel Hooper’s iPad keyboard demo, we had no idea that it would be as popular as it has turned out to be. Thousands of retweets later, the public has spoken out against how terrible the iPad’s editing situation is. I think John Gruber summed it up best when he noted that the iPad was a great for typing, but poor for editing.

There’s even instructions included on the video for submitting a bug report to Apple. Well, Apple may not listen, but someone else did.

Same models use the same IPSW, different models need different IPSW. To do this, you will need to download the iOS firmware files directly from Apple. Here are firmware links for iPad, iPod touch, iPhone if needed, once you have the file you place them into the folder where IPSW files are stored locally.
