Just wondering how many of you have jailbroken Touch / iPhone devices. My iPhone is jailbroken, mainly for the homebrew applications made by third party developers such as Cycorder -- it absolutely sucked not having video support natively in the iPhone

When I had an iTouch, I didn't have it jailbroken.

No.. I don't pirate apps or use any jailbreak-only apps. There are a few I would use.. but it seems like too much of a hassle.

Yeah, my touch is at the 1.1, I've got all of the NES, SNES, and Genesis emulators on it, which got me through some boring classes in high school.

I would. But I updated my Iphone to the point where jailbreaks don't work with it... Now I just wait until they make an updated jailbreak that works with my 2.28 firmware.

You can get around that, but it's pretty shady. I got it my first try though, no sweat.

Rolled with a Jailbroken one for a while, then stopped using the Jailbreak and went back to the real thing. Apple replaced that touch with a new one because of an unrelated hardware problem and I've used this one un-jailbroken ever since. Currently running legit 2.2 firmware.

My cousin has his iPhone jail broken and loves it.

Is it downgrading? Meh, I'd rather not risk it.

Dude, can jail breaking your iPhone brick it?

Well I've had absolutely no problems with it. All the jailbreak seems to do is have you boot into service mode and install a modified firmware. If you use a respected program like quickpwn it is very easy to do and takes all of 10 mins to do. Also, a lot of people are under the impression that you just get cracked apps etc, but there is actually a massive support from indie devs for the iPhone/iTouch making some really great and useful applications that are so good that I've not even bothered looking at cracked apps. Really worthwhile move, I totally recommend it.

I thought about it, but I can't be bothered with the hassle, especially with a ton of apps (perhaps too many) flooding the app store.

That and some of the more interesting features like menu and background customization generally look like ass.

Emulators are tempting, though, but with no real buttons I doubt I'd play them much.

I'm thinking about jail breaking it so I could use it as a modem for mobile internet, but I'm not sure, it's a lot of hassle.
