Apple Forbids iPhone Developers From Jailbreaking
Comments

Apple are really begining to p*ss me off ..and to be honest I am now looking for another solution, the Skype application was the straw that broke the cammels back .. not allowing it to run in the background or to allow calls over 3G ... just stupidity .. There are just too many restriction from apple on the iphone that is stopping it from becoming a really useful tool, but now its just a very shiney gimmick ... so I think soon there will be a mass exodus as soon as something just as shiney, but useable comes out ..... Goodby apple from me ...

Heck Yea! There is nothing that would stop me from using EVERYTHING that my iPhone is capable of. I have a 1st gen- paid $400 and I am STILL getting my moneys worth. Its been jailbroken.. I can do things with my phone that are astonishing to my newly-converted iphone friends. WHY WOULDNT I JAILBRAK IT?!?

We dont care i wil still jailbreak its our we pay for it so go to hell......

OOOO Apple ! Your Sooo Sexy when you Cat . NOT !

Apple: minimum effort on minimum options for maximum profit. once again, there are basic, free-phones via any wireless provider that have options the iphone should have had right out of the box since 1st gen. heaven forbid people who have been used to these features want them on their shiny new toy. camcorder? zoom with the camera? MMS? hell a customisable skin/GUI ? my cheap ass motorola did all of this. apple's just becoming more and more blatant in their efforts to quash people from making their product actually WORTH the 400 + dollars it costs to own their damn fone.

And how would they know this? They have jailbroken iphones and know which developers create apps on both App Store and Cydia.

Haha, its like giving an iPhone to willitblend.com and tell them not blend it... but then again will-it-blend? Let's find out! Stupid Apple, telling devs to not do what they're best at!

Ha, I'd still do it, why shouldn't I make the most of my iPhone just because Apple can't make what we can due to legal stuff. Like I and some other people say, what Apple (or some person) doesn't know, can't hurt us!

One for the Devs - work out how to provide a global Ad Hoc distribution meeting!

This is just stupid. Apple doesn't like it because there are great apps on Cydia, Like Cycorder and Winterboard. Unless they implement all these great features in another version which cydia offers, nothing will stop the jailbreak community. Also whats with MMS not working on the original iPhone. It has worked for ages on my original iPhone thanks to swirely mms :S. .:T:.

This means nothing, when you install any software etc you must accept terms, doesn't stop you breaking them

Apple can place any conditions they like, but they may not stand up to legal challenges. If Apple make their development software available to a developer, I can't see how they can successfully prevent a developer doing what he/she likes with it. Apple can say that if we find out a developer has been developing for Jailbroken phones, then we won;t let them publish to the Appstore, but hard to see how they can defend just saying "you can't develop jailbroken apps", especially when Jailbroken has not been found to be illegal in a court, it's only stated to be illegal by Apple. Let the court challenges roll on. I maintain that Apple needs the jailbroken community, and they know they need it.
