Why does it matter? I would not EVER presume to go into another person’s home & forbid them from using their own personal property however they saw fit. There is only ONE reason to jailbreak any device that anyone needs to know.. CHOICE! No other explanation is needed nor deserved! THE END!

Ah, “true” multitasking will always be in a dream. I bet they will and can never implement it.

Not until Blackberry come with a newest features.

[...] these rogue apps go? On jailbroken phones everywhere! Of course, jailbreaking is not without some serious risks and security holes. While there may be some bad apples on jailbroken phones, here are the plums I’ve picked out [...]

I jailbreak my old (otherwise inactive) iPhone so I can use it with international SIM cards.

How about tethering?

My phone is factory unlocked. I should be able to connect my laptop to the Internet like I always did with all of my previous Nokia phones. Can I? No, because some smart ass thinks that I can’t do what I want with my own factory unlocked device. I’m not breaching any contract, Vodafone lets me do it, I’m even paying for it.

Now I’m back on 3.0.1 because is the last one that allows tethering without jailbreak.

I truly love SBsettings which gives you a drop down menu accesible almost all the time, giving you access to the settings most frequently changed, brightness I find Im always adjusting. Also it gives you a list of currently running processes that works perfeclty well with ‘backgrounder’.

An if that wasnt enough, then theres the pure magic of ultrasn0w.

@pat s

There are no jailbreak exploits in the wild that do not involve OpenSSH having the default password. Being able to install software is very different from a security vulnerability.

I Jailbroke my iPhone 3G for only one reason: A native Terminal application which can use my ssh-keys installed on it. Tethering would also be nice, but not necessary. Sadly, I’m not Jailbroken because it did not work with the latest release :-(

Ooh, for the other jailbreakers out there that don’t use a theme – try using winterboard to simply disable icon labels. Seriously, after a day or two, seeing the text-laden interface will make you cringe. Knowing how minimalist Apple design can be, I imagine this will also become an adopted settings feature someday.

I love this holier-than-thou attitude that non-jailbreakers are spewing. It reads as judgemental and arrogant as religious biggotry, yet somehow more pathetic.

LIAM: Your choice of words here came off as condecending. “Is it because you absolutely must replace the default icons with something far less classy?”

I appreciate that you drink the apple Kool-aid, but let’s have some perspective here. I haven’t used a theme in a long while, but I seem to recall some magnificently art-directed skins, many of which had more uniform (or “classy”) consistency across the UI. If you choose to define the open source community’s offerings by the least classy options, beware that the mirror reflects the same swill of rancid apps that make up the bottom 98% of the official “app store”.

Cydia store offerings raise the bar for Apple in how they unify system functions, increase usability, and generally allow for a richer user experience. Now THAT’S classy.

Final thought: App pirates are dirt, but so are an unfortunately high percentage of the apps that I’ve purchased from apple. I’m not without sympathy, but I’m not terribly sympathetic. Especially considering that the thieves are unlikely purchase candidates regardless.

I will deny it because it is not true. A few pirates steal a huge ton of software, but the vast majority of jailbroken iphone users are not pirates.

I know some of you don’t want to hear it but the primary reason people jailbreak is to pirate software. Ask any developer, especially game developers, if pirating software on the iPhone is a problem. Again, there may be legitimate reasons to jailbreak but the majority of people jailbreak to steal software. Deny it if you want but it is true.

iJailbroke cuz I didn’t want to have a contract on my phone.
And for video rec, and a buncha otha stuff.

Listen, some people use Cracked apps and other piracy, but not all jailbreakers. I don’t cuz it’s illegal, and well, it’s jez kinda mean to the people that worked so hard to write it.

Which department of Apple do you work in?
