cant stand the word 'jailbreaking'
nokia/symbian users had to 'hack' our phones to mod them, many years before the iphone and the jailbreaking term was even invented

As long as people think freely pirating apps/games are ok, then commercial developers will resort to DRM to protect their assets/potential revenues.
A platform without DRM won't attract those developers. (see: N900)
A platform without sizeable commercial 3rd party support isn't financially viable. (ie: not commercially successful).
Nokia wants to make a commercially successful platform/products.
... so, if you string those elements up ....
it's inevitable.

hack / hacking/ hacked -- fewer letters and better term
jailbreak / jailbreaking -- invented term (?) and the word is longer
is it hard to use the term hack?

Well I for one would like to see the Phone, Calendar, Media Player and Contacts apps "jailbreaked". They are closed source and perhaps the apps most in need of tweaking.

the trouble with the word HACK. we have been socially conditioned that just to hear the word HACK. makes you think its illegal!
like the word DRUG. you hear it and think.,eg cannibis
which is not a drug. drugs are the pills that your doc gives you. which are man made and really bad for you
social conditioning is a real bad thing

I hope Nokia doesn't **** things up with DRM, things can get really ugly if the IP freaks dictate the rules

I'm sure the lack of commercial applications on the N900 is due to the smaller size of the market. I don't care much either way. I prefer the community software on the N900 to the largely useless 'apps' in the Android marketplace.
1. Build a cage (or a dungeon if you prefer)
2. Put your n900 in the cage
3. lock the cage
4. throw away the key
5. pick the lock
6. take n900 out of the cage and shout freedom
