It's an interesting theory. Yeah, I'm sure that there are people out there like that, but there's a big difference here compared to the console. On neither the 360 nor PS3 are games given away for free... so I guess there's more of a desire to get around restrictions so you can run pirated games.

Since most apps on Maemo to this point are free... I don't think it really fits your analogy... but of course, we're probably going to see more pay apps as Maemo goes on. Hell, we even saw the Wayfinder app on previous tablets hacked by people here so...

Again, I could see your point when the consoles are $300+ and each piece of software is $60+... but not in this case where the phone is over $600, most phone apps are less than $10 and most of the apps on Maemo are free.

Like I said, though... interesting theory.
