If you read about the iPhone on the internet for too long, you're likely to hear another phrase thrown around a lot: "Jailbreak".
jailbreak. v. To free iPhone of the tyrannical restrictions imposed by Apple disallowing severely technical personalization of iPhone.
There are all kinds of websites out there that offer quick ways to do this that aren't reminiscent of the famed New Jersey boy who figurd out how to crack his iPhone with the soldering iron.
Users are doing this to allow applications to be placed right on their phones, but WHY? It seems so unsafe!
I'll never understand why, really, but I hate downloading music for free-- I just feel like it's going to have a virus and ruin my computer (this is probably also the same reason I pay for porn on the internet, something my friends have long chastised me for.)
So, it's only natural that I don't want to do anything to ruin my iPhone. I'm going to continue researching what it is about folks like me that keeps us reticent to unlock/jailbreak/etc the iPhone. In the meantime, I welcome any speculation.
