| LIke I-Phone Like MAC vs PC. I feel again EFF is on the wrong side, Apple has every right to dictate the policy over I-Phones. It is their property and nobody is forcing me or anybody to buy one. The lack of flexibility is one reason I will not buy and Apple product.
This is an opportunity for a competitor to offer an open version. It can be another PC vs. Apple battle. Remember what happen last time. Apple II was dominant, PC introduced as an open product, PC eventually dominates over Apple. |

kudos:4 | I bought the phone, I will jailbreak it as I see fit. Apple should be embracing some of the ideas and improvements made by the jailbreakers vs trying to stifle the creativity. |

| Allow me to spell it out for you then.
It's like saying Apple can tell you what you can and can't do with something they built, just because they built it and you bought it.
It's like saying that if Apple said "no alternative operating systems" I can't strip OSX off my ibook and slap a linux distro on it.
It's like saying that if Apple said "no alternative browsers" I couldn't go download Opera or Camino.
It's like saying that if Apple said "you MUST drink the kool-aid!" I couldn't refuse.
Well, sure, I'll give you that they have a right to say "You're using an ibook as a DOORSTOP?! You CAN'T DO THAT!!" ...but that doesn't take away my right to use said ibook as a doorstop.

They're free to try and prevent jailbreaking, but once they sell me the phone it belongs to me. I can then do anything I want with it including jailbreaking it or throwing it into a volcano. Once I buy it Apple loses any say in what I do with it. |
