I tried downloading 1 app from the appstore after jailbreaking my ipod touch 2g and I ended up being charged for it. I thought jailbreaking lets you get free apps? 🙁

Why did you think that?! Nice to know you've hunted out ways to steal, though.

That's a FAIL. Sure hope it was an expensive app . . .

Who is 'everyone'? By your accusing tone I guess you mean MacRumors members - please do point us in the direction of these many 'Get free apps' threads...

Jailbreaking is not a process of getting fully free apps. You're a terrible person mentally to think that you can steal applications by modifying your device. Developers work hard and long to get those apps out, and all they want in return is a small handful of pennies. 😡
