/* for the sake of simplicity, iPod touch, iPhone and the iPad shall be known as iDevices */ according to the US Copyright Office on 26 july 2010 [cnet.com], jailbreaking your iDevice does not contravene federal copyright law anymore. in practice, it basically states in legalese that it is now okay for American iDevice users to break out of apple's walled garden model of apps from the appstore only. suffice to say, people in the rest of the world don't have to deal with all these.. do note, however, that this still doesn't absolve the user from apple's software licence agreement - apple will void your warranty if you jailbreak your iDevice. but well.. at least it's not a statutory crime to do whatever you want with what you bought anymore. it is also important to note that should you require warranty service, the process of restoring your iDevice to factory settings is easy as pie...
