Pronounced (cal-vin-uh-lee-bru)

Good morning all. I hope you are all having a wonderful day, and if not, hopefully the news I bear will change that (that is if you’re an iPhone or smartphone user). Back in January, I wrote a post on how to Jailbreak your iPhone (click here for more information on that). Back then, it was “technically” illegal to jailbreak your iPhone although no one has ever been sued or gotten themselves into any trouble from doing it, the act alone was considered against the law.

On Monday morning, the Library of Congress made practices of jailbreaking your iPhone (and any other phones) legal. Yeah, you read that correctly, you can even read this article for more information on that. So what does this mean for everyone? This means we can enjoy pure freedom on our mobile devices. No more application or service provider limitations for that matter and I for one am pretty stoked about the decision. I know Apple must have been upset about the whole ordeal but the truth is, we should have the ability to use our devices the way we want. We pay good money for these phones, limitations and restrictions on features that we “should have anyway” just seems partial.

One other important thing that I MUST mention is that once your iPhone is jailbroken, your warranty becomes void. So just because it’s legal now, don’t walk up into the Apple store with a jailbroken iPhone trying to have them service it, cause they’ll point you to the front door. Restore it back to it’s original “non jailbroken” state, then take it to get serviced. With that said, happy jailbreaking people!
