"So I’ve downloaded the files from gumball, including the iTunes beta, but I’m not sure how to go about updating my iPad. Surely I’m not going to have to “restore” as the name of the ipsw file seems to indicate?…"

AJT replied to Steve Porritt's discussion Unlocking iPhone 3G (Softbank) for use in England? in the group iPhone in Japan
"I followed this guide to jailbreak and then the other guide mentioned to sim unlock. I'm not a luddite but I'm no Steve Jobs either but I managed to jailbreak and unlock with no hiccups. Since you already have a shiny new iPhone 4G then…"

Steve Porritt replied to Steve Porritt's discussion Unlocking iPhone 3G (Softbank) for use in England? in the group iPhone in Japan

Steve Porritt replied to Paul Fons's discussion Best place to buy an iPad? in the group iPad in Japan
