Ah, so if my band doesn't buy Apple devices, then everyone else can share our MP3s? Wrong. Apple's rules still prevent my band from sharing our music regardless of if we purchase from them or not.

So instead it assume everyone is a criminal, and that every transfer (except the ones from iTunes) is illegal. But wait... there clearly is a mechanism it uses to determine that what iTunes is doing is legal. Why can't it use that?

My old Nokia 6230 from 5+ years ago could do this. I could copy anything on the device, and most things off of it. It would let me copy mp3s I copied on or pushed to it back off. But the copyrighted tones and images I got from the Nokia store would never copy off the device...


Where in this thread have I said overclocking is good? Stop putting words in my mouth. You're just trying to change the topic to one you think will suit you better. (It won't btw, since overclocking is yet another feature you can't do with the iPhone, even if you jailbreak it.)

Every time anyone say something negative about the iPhone, the default answer is "OH, you can do X if you jailbreak it." I've yet to hear of one feature that requires you to overclock the N900.

Fact of the matter is iPhoniee fanboys would have you believe that jailbreaking a device is a-OK and everyone is doing it. Reality is that few are actually jailbreaking it, and it's not all roses and wine when you do. And if you do it, to get any of those features that the N900 can do without overclocking or breaking the warranty in any way, on the iPhone, you void your warranty.
