bricking a jail broken iphone

Will there be a huge legal battle in the next few months?

Will apple run afoul of the UCC, and the DCMA, even prehaps the FTC?

Thousands of people have jail broken their iphones and now ipads and Stevie jobs seems to be living in some other world.

What kind of corporate board, allows, this to keep happening?

It is time to do the right thing or replace mr jobs.

Or will apple finally figure it all out, that you have to give the customer what they want or eventually they will be someone else s customer.

Ok, most every one has heard of the iphone, but in case you have not, the iphone is one of the most popular mobile devices in many years.

the iPhone is an Internet enabled multimedia mobile phone device designed and more importantly marketed by Apple.

the IPhone has a multi touch screen with buttons and virtual keyboard.

One of the many functions of IPhone is a portable media player and a camera phone with visual voicemail and text messaging.

the IPhone also provides Internet services including internet access and a browser experience, e-mail, and WiFi connectivity.

IPhone also supports EDGE data connections.

The IPhone was introduced on 29th June’07 for the first time in United States, and then in the UK, France, and Germany in Nov’07.

After the original offerings IPhone devices are sold only at AT&T network with a Simlock, in place a variety of hackers have found techniques to unbolt the device.

Not only have Apple stores annulled the warranty (allegedly) on hacked and not closed IPhones but Apple just made a statement which says that the unlocked process along with a future IPhone update may cause your phone to be about as useful as a brick.

So you can see the term Bricked, comes from what some have called, bricking.

In a very recent decision

DMCA Ruling Allows iPhone Jailbreaks this is no longer as much of an issue, (allegedly) but dont run out and break your device, right away, because you could still end up with a problem, ok, so just so you know we are not saying its ok, but there is evidence that the DCMA has made this decision and it could have a direct impact on how you use your equipment in the near future.

There may be some lawsuits, yes, but know this, the days of opression of your mobile devices are numbered.

Yet, still  Users that are installing illegal unlocking programs are strongly discouraged by Apple because of the possibility that could still void the warranty and also cause the phone to become the afore mentioned brick.

ipad is it really all that?

Imagine what you can do…

Is it a brand new market, a brand new day? Is this a brand new marketplace?

Will the ipad become the next ipod?

There are nearly 750 thousand of these ipads and the number is growing, that means that there are literally new customers all over the place, just waiting for good apps to come out of the app store, yet, apple does not have much in the way of ipad apps, possibly because of the process draconian or otherwise that they use to approve each app.

However, no matter if you like it or not, the ipad is here to stay.

What do you think about the ipad, stuff, is jobs as allegedly crazy as they say, or is it genius, is he being draconian? or prudent, the owl wants to know…

Many people are wondering if the ipad is really worth it, some say yes some say not, I bought one and just days later apple changed all the rules, and some allege that apple created a lot of problems for developers.

either way, unless apple makes this right, this may be one of the last times, the stock price gets to this level.

apple vs adobe?

Looks like the verdict is in, folks adobe either did not want to go to court, or thought that spending all that money on lawyers, would be better spent, supporting, apples, competition.

If you think of it that way then you can see just how dumb apple was in this issue and how it continues to be dumb.

One thing that seems crazy is how apple is treating the very people that have supported them for years, in some cases driving people back into the arms of windows, I bet bill gates is laughing and laughing and laughing…

But when you think about it, you just have to wonder what is going on over at apple, yes, they have sold a lot of ipods, they sold a lot of iphone, (not as many as they could have sold, if they had not gone exclusive with att) but who knows, if you bought apple at 74 then right about now is a great time to dump it, and I mean dump it fast before it goes down…

Why? Well, when a company creates problems for itself, like what has happened to apple in the past month then disaster is on the way and you read it hear first. Apple is allegedly going down down down, unless a change is made and that may in fact include taking the AX to SJ, if in fact he is responsible for this fiasco, who ever did this should be fired, fired fired.

They made an alleged enemy of a giant competitor, and that is stupid stupid stupid…
Prepare for a huge dustup, or not, the lawyers, are set to begin a huge lawsuit, that many feel apple is destined, to loose, even if they win.

So what up, is stevie out of a job?

Will adobe sue apple, and will apple sue back, the world wants to know, but in reality, this school yard bully fight is really stupid, mostly from little Stevie, it is just crazy and actually what is needed is a vote of no confidence.

What, you did not hear that here, but really come on Stevie, you really cant expect to play this I am going to take my ball and go home game with the company, the customers, the developers, (which are really customers too) dont forget that, you chiseler,

Well as many have suggested, the rumor mills are in running full time, with the most recent blast, or blunder by apple, which allegedly prohibits an entire cottage industry that was blooming in the shade of the great apple tree, but now may be defunct.

So with one fell swoop, apple may have caused Millions in damages, (allegedly)

NO one seems to know for sure but it does appear that if the language that we see in the new terms and conditions, which may be a thinly veiled salvo between two super powers, with entire villages, becoming collateral damage. Many fear that perhaps apple may have allegedly bitten off more than it can chew, so in reality, what we are seeing here, is a huge rip in the fabric of developers lives.

So really until we see some additional information, what we are facing is Xcode which is not as bad as some may have been lead to belive it is, sure the documentation, is allegedly, hard to follow and full of nerdy fluff,

One of the biggest issues is that many seem to be under the mistaken impression that apple cares about the little guys out here trying to make a living in a world where the hourly wage, has hit bottom since 1998, so in reality, the only thing that you can really do is to subscribe to the notion, when in rome…

Oh one final thought I am now wondering if I should just return all the ipads we purchased for our development team?

If apple wants to play war, then fine, but I can buy a boat load of droids, and still save money…
