This is the first time I jailbreak an IOS device and was very skeptical at first, fearing i might get my gadget bricked. The first versions of jailbreaking software also uses a lot of steps and technical skills which make it very intimidating to do, but after several reading of guides and reviews, i finally got the courage to try it on my week old iPad 2.
Without further ado, here are the steps I did:
These steps are also applicable to iPhones and iPod touches
1. Just visit www.jailbreakme.com using safari browser of the device you want to jailbreak. In my case, I used safari browser of my iPad 2.
2. Click the Free button, it will change into Install button (similar to App Store's behavior when installing apps).
3. A download will begin and cydia will be installed on your app menu. Once Cydia is install, your iPad is now considered jailbroken and you can now do more magical things like installing apps not allowed by Apple on its app store or features and functionalities not available to basic iOS versions like custom themes and wireless sharing of 3g connection.
disclaimer: Cracked apps are illegal. I do not encourage using one, and this is for experimental purposes only.
4. You need to open cydia and head to sources (world icon)
5. Tap edit button, then the settings button on the left side will become Add button. Tap that Add button
6. Enter http://cydia.hackulo.us on "Enter Cydia/APT URL" field (this will take several moments)
7. After the source has been added, tap that Source. a list of application from hackulo.us will appear. Search for Installous 4 and install it (this will take several moments)
8. Installous 4 will appear as another app on the app menu just like what happened to Cydia after installing. You can now use Installous 4 to search for cracked apps.
Honestly speaking, i really dont know the specifics of Cydia's function so i suggest you read this information first before attempting to do a jailbreak. And another reminder, jailbreak on your own risk. Jailbreaking is not supported by Apple and may void your device warranty. And again, support the app developers, buy their applications.

At this point you might be wondering where is the part that can download free apps. Most people's reason for jailbreaking is to download premium apps for free. :( Please support our app developers. $.99 wouldn't hurt that much right? So if you like the apps, buy a copy.so here , to be able to download "cracked" apps
