I need lockinfo and SSH. I would still like access to (could probably live without) Mywi, SBSettings, 3G Unrestrictor, FakeLocation (for MLB at Bat 2010), and Yourtube.
I wish I could jailbreak, especially for video out capabilities, but while my phone is under contract and OS 4.0 is coming out I think I'll pass on jailbreaking and just lobby Apple for the features I want and need...
Software Agreement.
No I would not jailbreak. I'm a software developer and jailbreaking is theft plain and simple. If I were apple I would detect jailbroken units and exercise my rights in the software agreement and disable them. If you don't like the software and do not agree with the terms in the software agreement don't buy it.

Another knowitall that thinks everyone who Jailbreaks is a pirate.....
True. The entire reason I would Jail break an iPhone even with 4.0 is to lets see get better notification,
True multitasking because the 4.0 "multitasking" is the exact same thing WP7 is using.
I can side load apps and not restricted to only Apple unclear and ever changing restriction.
You really should learn what jailbreaking really is before posting inane comments...

That's the only avatar I really despise in all of MR... however, he likes it, and he has the right to use it. Also, I respect Applejuiced alot.
Jailbreaking.
Maybe you should read the EULA before posting inane comments. Jailbreaking is a violation of the EULA plain and simple.

Thank you.
I do it to get to people with the mentality of JB=Piracy.
I can care less if you like it or not.
But my guess is that you do like it since you know what my its about
You do realize that you aren't required to respond to every thread right?
Anyways, yes I will. I still require true multi-tasking (the very few times I want to use multi task are usually not things that seem to be covered by 4.0). Besides, the implementation of it is horrible.
Plus a slew of other things, such lockinfo and ireal sms (without those 2, I can't stand my iphone).
Thank you sir.
I put it up cause I knew it would mess with people when I first registered a few years back
No big deal to me, if you guys have any suggestions for a new one I'd replace it.

Might want to change that quote, it haz a typo. I meant RESPECT and you're more than welcome.
Eula
It does void your warranty but why, oh yeah because Jailbreaking is a violation of the EULA. I will agree that Apple isn't coming after jail breakers in court, and that the warranty void seem to keep them happy. But in my opinion stealing is stealing, Apple owns the software not the user and when the user bought the iPhone they agreed to the terms of the EULA. If you want to change the OS software on your iPhone you can request permission form Apple to do so, you wont get it but you can ask.

Since you seem to understand so well what jailbreaking is, could you explain it to us please?
Thats false.
Apple is comming after jailbreakers with their legal team but they cannot pass it as illegal in court.
So the only thing they can do is deny service to JB devices. The courts have long recognized that copying software while reverse engineering is a fair use when done for purposes of fostering interoperability with independently created software, a body of law that Apple conveniently fails to mention.

Jailbreaking.
I have read what jailbreaking is and there is no way around it. It makes changes the installed OS by Apple. With regards to access to parts of the UNIX OS and the home directory and many other things, but sill a violation of the EULA. So why don't you read the EULA and tell me how jailbreaking is not a violation of it, that might be more productive. Since one change to the OS or even access to it not granted by Apple is a violation knowing every nuance of jailbreaking isn't necessary.
In comments submitted to the Copyright Office, Apple said jailbreaking was a violation of copyright laws. "Current jailbreak techniques now in widespread use [utilizes] unauthorized modification to the copyrighted bootloader and OS, resulting in infringement of the copyright in those programs," Apple said. The iPhone's bootloader is a small program stored in the phone's nonvolatile memory that, as its name implies, loads the device's operating system.
Jailbreaking an iPhone breaks the law, Apple said, because the process relies on pirated copies of the bootloader and operating system.
