STFU!!!Crapple - Jailbreaking,Unlocking iPhones Now Officially Legal in the US

[GRACIE JIU-JITSU]

 The Monday morning, the Associated Press announced much to the delight of the jailbreak/modding community, that iPhone owners "will be able to break electronic locks on their devices in order to download applications that have not been approved by Apple." Although the questionable "legality" of such actions never inhibited many from doing so, the federal government is making it officially legal under new rules announced just today.

So where did this decision come from? While it may seem utterly arbitrary this Monday morning, the decision to effectively authorize "jailbreaking" comes as one of a few important new exemptions from a federal law "that prohibits the circumvention of technical measures that control access to copyrighted works." Every three years, the Washington Post reports, the Library of Congress "authorizes such exemptions to ensure that existing law does not prevent non-infringing use of copyrighted material."

ABC News reports that additional exemptions will:

— allow owners of used cell phones to break access controls on their phones in order to switch wireless carriers.

— allow people to break technical protections on video games to investigate or correct security flaws.

— allow college professors, film students and documentary filmmakers to break copy-protection measures on DVDs so they can embed clips for educational purposes, criticism, commentary and noncommercial videos.

— allow computer owners to bypass the need for external security devices called dongles if the dongle no longer works and cannot be replaced.

Doesn't make a difference for me, I jailbroke my iphone a year ago and my ipad two days after I bought it...

[drkaje]

I didn't "jailbreak" my phone but installed a firmware change to allow tethering (a pre-existing feature) following an apple update I guy had access to voicemails.

I'd still love to have the tethering capacity but do occasionally get a useful voicemail. I'm not paying those assclowns $4.99/mo when it cost them nothing, is built into the phone anyways and is free in Europe.

Tethering allows the phone to be used as a modem. Basically if you're someplace with no internet the laptop will be able to use phone minutes for looking at porn or checking the occasional e-mail.

Can't remember where I got the firmware from but it became useless when the update blocked voicemails, anyways.

  If you want your voicemail back, and keep your tethering. try this.

 1- IPCC file. you can change any time you want using itunes.

 2- Or create a new profile on your iphone "mobileconfigs"
  Go here using your iphone and create one. http://www.benm.at/2009/06/13/helpbenmat/

 3- Or jailbreak the phone and get mywi or pdanet.

 I would suggest mywi or pdanet.

Thanks, Gracie!!

Irony is I don't even need the feature much. It just burns my ass Apple/ATT want to block features on a phone I paid for and then get $5/month for the one or two times a year it would really come in handy.

[Coach is Back!]

WTF is "jailbreak"?

I thought it was an ACDC song.

android is pissing all over the iphone.

however unlike the iphone - to get the most out of android you need a brain and an ounce of tech intellect.

this may also change in androids favour with the release of android 3.0 aka - gingerbread. As it has been reported this will make android more streamlined and drastically improve the ui/ue.

gingerbread is due for release just before xmas this year - with numerous superfones from motorola, htc, samsung, etc planned for release around that time with gingerbread onboard.

as it stands at present the most powerful phone you can currently own is the samsung galaxy s. As it has the fastest processor, the fastest gpu, most on board memory, the best screen - in terms of colour, brightness, ability to read in sunlight, and power consumption,  and uses the most advanced touchscreen sensors known - allowing up to 5 simultaneous touches to register individually even when overlapping.

if you want a phone - its the one to buy
