Apple are wasting their time with this one. Whatever they try to do will fail - people will always want to have the freedom to put what they want on their I-phones - and people will always be out there that will carry on writing hacks.

Large corporations would do well to learn from previous experiences. Remember the music industry backlash against downloading tunes and how it would kill the industry? Now we have a download chart :) Apple would save lots of cash and public face if it stopped trying to curtail the jail-breaking movement, and worked with it rather than against it.

It like trying to put humpty dumpty back together again. “All the kings horse and all the kings men … .” It’s fighting a guerrilla war. You never win in the long run through military might alone. You must win the hearts and minds of the people. The people want an open iPhone. And they shall have it one way or the other.

I have to point out that this article repeats the FALSE assertion that the new agreement forbids a developer from jailbreaking their own phone or using a jailbreak on their own phone to assist in their developing.

Nothing that has been published from the agreement (including the main clauses above) forbids a developer from jailbreaking their own phone. It merely forbids the developer from *creating* jailbreak software, from *promoting* jailbreaks, from *assisting* people to jailbreak their phone, or from *participating* (at least officially) in the jailbreak “community.”

This is a perfectly reasonable stance and will inconvenience no-one but the jailbreak “community,” such as it is. It means that people won’t be able to write books about how to jailbreak the iPhone or make money off of jailbreaking but it does NOT stop anyone from doing anything with their own phone that they want to including “jailbreaking.”

I jailbroke yesterday (on a PC, since my uni MacBook has been crippled for me), and I’m really dumbfounded why Apple is so against it. It’s so pleasant and useful. Nothing I’ve done to my iPhone has hurt Apple in any way; it’s actually made me love my iPhone even more, whereas handcuffing my MacBook against jailbreaking makes me resent Apple. I can understand their contractual obligations to keep users on AT&T, but why hate on people installing their own themes or system utilities?

This is nothing new, it was already stated in the terms in December ’08.
