iPod touch Jailbreak doesn't bother people?

[csmith75]

if i jailbreak my iPod and apple do anything to permently damage it...i will hurt apple

they may not have broken any laws...but they sold me something which i have limited use of...which i think of as a crime

tell me if this is not right?

Even though it doesn't bother me that people want to jailbreak their device, how do you figure you have limited use of the device and it's a crime? You knew what the device could do when you bought it...Apple didn't FORCE you to buy it.

Modifying the phone or touch to allow running 3rd party applications is one thing. Blatantly copying iPhone applications to the Touch is a bit different. Since I don't have either yet I haven't looked at the license agreement - does it prohibit modifying the phone to do things like hacking it?

quite true...although we all know that the iPod touch was made from an iPhone...then the engineers tooka stuff out..that's all

and some of the stuff shouldn't have been taken out...apple have made us pay for this awesome hardware, and have not given us software whihc they so easily could...it's there...why not include it?

This License allows you to use the iPhone Software on a single Apple-labeled iPhone. This License does not allow the iPhone Software to exist on more than one Apple-labeled iPhone at a time, and you may not make the iPhone Software available over a network where it could be used by multiple devices at the same time.

So wait, does this mean that Steve Jobs is the only one with a legal iPhone?

yeah...so how does texting and internet and all that linking with other devices thing work?

Is this a serious question/statement? If you HACK your iPod and a software update bricks it, you expect Apple to give you a new one? Honestly...

Apple will release a software update that patches the exploit, since that's what this hack does. It's not to brick them but instead patch something that is potentially harmful to the device.

Its like buying a computer and you cant use any software? why they do that? IMO, for more $$$

haha, tell this to those iphone owners whose devices got bricked.

for $$$ isn't unreasonable, just don't pretend to be otherwise.

I'm sorry, I thought this was an iPod touch forum.

Oh wait, it is. Did I once mention the iPhone?

oh, Im sorry, the statement you made sounds so familiar to those on the iPhone board, my bad. my bad, apple did it to iPhone, but Im sure apple won't do it to iPT.
