I'm still confounded that with millions of iPhones out there and the thousands who jailbreak that there is not more of an organized workforce (for lack of a better word) doing the jailbreaking instead of a rag-tag team of rogue programmers who to this in their spare time.

Capitalism, being what it is, is not waisted on the iPhone jailbreak project. I'd gladly pay $20 to a legit outfit that did this for a living and produced reliable, timely, safe breaks.

For all those constant, useless calls to "do it yourself", that's exactly what we have now.

Of course, the downside of having a legit outfit doing the jailbreaking (and charging a nominal fee) would be the attention (and possible lawsuits) that would come their way from Apple.

Maybe what we have now is as good as it's going to get.

this has been brought up a million times and probably a million more.
Most of the Devs are not interested in this option Jailbreaking is a hobby and a sport for them. also it has already been decided JB is legal as far as IOS. Sony will probably go the same way but time will tell.

Instead of getting a kick out of my rants, try actually reading and understanding them. The proof of my hypothesis is no commercial enterprise, whose very existence, e.g., biteSMS, depends on jailbreak has stepped up to support the jailbreak development process. It's in their best interest to see the number of jb devices increase and that new jbs are ready to go as soon as possible after new iOS code is released. Their developers are just as skilled as the DT and CDT team members. Why haven't they stepped up? I know, they enjoy sitting around waiting just like the rest of us and get a kick out of watching the hackers ego battles.

Your assertion that the same skillset used to code an SMS program applies to finding flaws to create OS exploits is laughable. It simply does not translate. If it did, there'd be hundreds or thousands of people publishing jailbreaks.
