Thanks for the post..
So why Apple let a way exist to jailbreak the iphone? I mean, jailbreak maybe ok for certain ppl who use it just to do something extra, but why make it one of the step to getting pirated app? Can't Apple separate these two?
Why not make the decrypting of the code resides in hardware (ie the chips in iPhone)? Make it such that if you want to get pirated apps, u need to change the chips. This surely would reduce the amount of piracy available - bcos one wont be so jumpy in letting anyone opening up their iphone and changing some chips.
And so the answer is only one: Apple, PERHAPS, WANTS apps to be pirated, thus in a way promote their hardware - coz that is what Apple is selling. That is also why their Leopard OS is dirt cheap compared to Microsoft Winblows.
