Comments on: Apple: iPhone jailbreaking breaks the law, voids warranty http://www.iphonebuzz.com/apple-iphone-jailbreaking-breaks-the-law-voids-warranty-136182.php tracking the iPhone revolution Thu, 18 Mar 2010 09:48:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: micros http://www.iphonebuzz.com/apple-iphone-jailbreaking-breaks-the-law-voids-warranty-136182.php/comment-page-1#comment-52311 micros Tue, 17 Mar 2009 08:12:09 +0000 http://www.iphonebuzz.com/?p=6182#comment-52311 Whereas I agree wholeheartedly with the EFF over the fair use argument, Apple certainly has a point about voiding the warranty. Customers are in exactly the same position they would be if they hack their DVD firmware, and that is absolutely their choice to make. Apple may also have a valid legal point about the copyright infringement. From a moral standpoint it's a different matter though Whereas I agree wholeheartedly with the EFF over the fair use argument, Apple certainly has a point about voiding the warranty.

It's getting tougher and tougher to invent independently. "Conrad added that Apple had given Pandora something of a head start, suggesting that they begin by developing apps for a jail-broken version of the phone, before the SDK had been released to developers. Once the SDK was available, Conrad insisted that it was every bit as intuitive as the company had hoped."

Im getting very sick of see Apps coming out for what should be BASIC FUNCTIONS, now costing me £5-£10, or like MMS costing a fortune everytime we have to send through a 3rd party!!!! TOP 10 ways Apple have abused us FOR NO REASON!!!! 1) sms forward/MMS 2) bluetooth transfer 3) ringtone 4) easy sim card swapping 5) battery replacing 6) video recording 7) flash 8) music speaker too low 9) camera focus/no camera button for one photo taking 10) battery replacing Personally, I think Apple have went so far that they deserve all those people taking advantage of them....

While this may work with iTunes in dealing with artists who don't know how to program, I can't see this lasting with software developers who will naturally develop endless workarounds to this kind of draconian bullsh*t. We can develop anything we want for the Mac... why not the iPhone?

There are some lessons to be learned there, such as not forcing users out of their apps to turn on wifi, or to answer SMS. I've seen where someone can swipe across the top status bar to make a control panel drop down in front of their running app, to make a preference change or change Wifi settings, and then close that pane revealing their still-running app. If some coder can afford to do this in his spare time, what the hell is Apple doing to move this forward? Because they sure don't seem to be working on getting that push notification out the door, now late since September. Something is horribly wrong in the house of Steve.
