Mobile, AL | AT&T sucks Apple needs to make the iPhone available on all networks. Remember how being closed worked out for Apple back in the day? Now Android will do the same thing to Apple that Microsoft did back then. |

I'd suggest that Apple is doing very well with its relatively closed platforms. They wouldn't be if their locked down devices were unable to be jail broken.
My personal opinion is that jailbreaking helps apple a lot in sales.

Cydia installer founder Jay Freeman estimates that over 10% of all iPhones are jailbroken.[1]

It's more than 10% and that doesn't include ipods.
Even 10% would be tens of millions. Although not a majority part of the customer base, still a significant one.
I'm sure most international versions aren't jail broken.

Apple has already sold well over 3,000,000 iPhone 4s with no demand decrease in site. There isn't a jailbreak available.
Apple is doing just fine, with or without the jailbreakers. |

Of which at least 300,000 will be jailbroken shortly, as well, expect another sales spurt when the jailbreak is released.
Once apple eliminates the most egregious and obvious bugs, that is - don't hold your breath. |

A lot of people refuse to buy a locked down device like the iphone unless they know for a fact that it will be jail broken.
