Have you ever heard the term, Jail-breaking, as it relates to your cell phone? No, your cell phone is not a convict. It has to do with what your phone maker wants you to do and not do.
As an example, let’s take the iPhone. When you purchase an iPhone, there are two rules that must be followed:
First, the only apps you can load are those that have been approved and put in the iTunes store. Second, you must only use AT&T as your cell service provider.
If you jailbreak your phone, those two rules no longer apply. Legally, you may now use another provider or upload non-approved apps.
As of today, more than a million iPhone users have jail-broken their phones. Keep in mind, while jail-breaking your phone is legal, doing so will void your warranty.
I’m not going to jailbreak my phone yet, though. I want to see how this will play out first.
