[QUOTE="NJRonbo, post: 494366, member: 25262"] I agree wholeheartedly with the statement that we bought the hardware and we should be allowed to install whatever we want on it. It also goes without saying that should we break that hardware doing these sort of modifications, we should not expect to be covered under any warranty. That being said, what is happening in this case is that Apple is preventing us from installing 3rd party applications. These applications (to date) are safe, cause no risk to the phone itself, and are being widely enjoyed by those who have installed them. Why must Apple feel that they should step in and lock their phones from such installations? This is the major problem here. Apple has been so forthcoming lately about giving more control of choice to their consumers but in the same breath are trying to stop them from installing hacks on the phone as if to say, "you will only install what we want you to install."
