Well my wife and I had a wonder into our local Currys today having seen them advertising getting iPads in, now we bought ours a bit back and found Plants vs Zombies on them as a trial game and immediately bought it for our iPad being in love with it.
So we went in today and flicked through some pages of demo apps and found Cydia on them no less! Obviously these are pre-update and have used Jailbreakme.com but I just found it entertaining that these were on display as such, would love to see that explained to an Apple rep.

Pictures attached for your amusement and mine.

I doubt they're really selling them jailbroken. Probably just a guy who like jailbreaking demo units.

Oh definitely, I meant for that to come across in my original post, it wasn't a serious accusation, I just found the fact the demo units had been Jailbroken (2 out of three had anyway) to be amusing and felt it worth sharing. I by no means meant to imply Currys or DSGi were actually selling them jailbroken

I suggest you change your thread title, to having jail broken display units, you don't want too much controversy :p

Typical British-ness.. They can't be bothered to update xD
 
I've seen a YouTube video, were people jailbreak about 6 iPads in front of Apple employee's then go up to an employee and say, "All of those ipads are jailbroken..... But I wasn't us." LOL
