OK whiners, keep it up and planetbeing may walk away like Geohot did.

The sad part is the only reasons these whiners want it is for cracked apps. That is NOT why they jailbreak the phones. I want it mainly for bite SMS, sbs settings, and 3G unrestrictor. I honestly think now that it is considered legal, they should start charging for the jailbreaks. Why should they put up with all these leeches on twitter for free. I'd gladly pay for it.

+1. It is actually quite sad in some ways.

I'm hoping Apple puts a mechanism in similar to what Google just put into Android, where apps can phone home, and verify that the IMEI and account they are running on has purchased the app. This way, even if the iPhone is jailbroken, pirates will be forced to go in and crack every single app individually, and start at square 1 when updates come out. Plus, this would be a security mechanism independent of jailbreaking, so Apple doesn't have to spend as much effort locking down their devices.

With apps not relying on the resistance of a device to be jailbroken, Apple can spend more money on cool stuff and not locking down their phones.

check comex twitter. looks like something is popping up (specifically jailbreakme.com)

as for you 'old school' jailbreakers, no one cares that you can follow a list of steps and cut and paste in terminal as opposed to clicking a few buttons. that doesn't make you anymore of a 'thinker' than anyone else. if you were really a thinker, you'd come up with your own way to jailbreak.
