Apparently back at the end of July, when I was travelling hither and yon, the Library of Congress gave the ok to jailbreaking iPhones. This doesn’t mean Apple has to make it easy, and it still might brick your phone (backups, people!), but it does mean a certain legitimization for the underground heroes at Dev Team.
Jailbreaking used to be a hair-raising adventure, requiring some delicate fiddling, and there was just no way to know what would happen to your baby. Now, it’s a swipe gesture and you’re done.
There can still be speedbumps, like losing your Facetime functionality, but the Dev Team has always moved pretty fast, and sure enough, it’s never long before they fix a thing… or improve on the original, such as making Facetime available over 3G. Hot. Then again, That’s what Fring does, multi-platform and no jailbreak required. So I’m still left with the one shining reason to jailbreak – ditching AT&T.
