I can't do anything with my iphone if it wasnt unlocked...bottom line as one of the guys said..apple cannot mess with its own customers in this way.. lol I hope not! for real it would suck if apple does that! but I don’t think they will..most of the people Jailbreak or unlock the iphone and if apple but restrictions on them then bo! they will go to HTC which is competing with apple right now..the iphone is not worth it if its not jailbroken!

Not that sony aren't asswhole, but you're a brainwashed bigger one if you think apple is any different, AND THE IPHONE IS THE CLEAREST PROOF TO THIS. spyglass you sound like a complete idiot, apply everything you said about sony to apple fool.

(Beta, Mini-Disc's "Atrac", Blu-Ray, etc). 2nd, apple is run by a bunch of cool kids, who get paid lots of money, and they like to make sure they're stuff is WAY outside of the "box". (where as sony wants to try to keep you locked in the "box" ala malware, spyware, various DRM, etc). Apple will probably release new features over the next year. but there probably wont be anything revolutionary (like a video recorder). Why? Because you can make a WHOLE lot more money by telling people if they buy a NEW handset for $800, they will get this FANTASTIC "Flash", Plus "Video Recorder", etc. Sure, you & i know that its a minor software update, but my dad & all of his corporate douche-bag buddies dont know shit about the internet or computers so they think there's some "magical new chip" in the next gen-iphone that allows you to do it. For instance the mac-mini vs. apple-tv. its basically the same product, just different software (hence why smart homebrewers can turn an appleTV into a cheap mac-mini). Anywho, i totally support the homebrew crowd, the stuff they've done with the iphone as of late, (install.app, lightsout, NESemulator, MobileFinder) is FANTASTIC! no way Apple would have come up with all of these features. apple has really missed the boat on allowing for 3rd party software development. i can understand that its AT&T that they're trying to protect by not releasing an SDK (think about VoIP, and all the other AT&T circumventing that would be happening right now in Homebrew land, if there was a proper SDK). Its the first rule of the internet, if there's a way to prevent someone from doing something, there's a way to allow them to do it, either through code, hardware, or both. In the case of the iphone its only a matter of time before homebrew cracks the shit out of the iphone and we're able to do some truly mind-bending things with it. as for the un-locking. i'm going to wait to un-lock. it's totally possible that apple will release a firmware update that could resolve my major compliants with the iphone (ie; SHITTY RECEPTION EVERYWHERE!). because if they released that, i would still hate AT&T (cause lets face it, that company is the mcdonald's of Telco and that just sucks). first off, sony is run by a bunch of prick’s, who hate their users…hence why they keep trying to shove their proprietary format bull-shit down everyone’s throats!

This article got my full attention, especially since I jailbreaked my iPhone last night (and have been enjoying the games off of installer for not even 24 hours). It would suck if apple decided to attempt to keep new features out of hacker's hands. But even if they decided to do that, hackers will find a way to either bypass the installer security or restore their iPhone to it's original unjailbreaked state :) Hmmm….
