Still Apple will try to make it impossible. Good news would be if they were forced to remove their damn jail...

Excellent news. People should be able to do whatever they want with their property.
Try telling a car owner they can't install a stereo system unless it's Apple-approved,
and so on. Once I buy it, I do whatever the hell I want with it.

This expires in 3 years, and has to be renewed. Maybe by then people will will realize that the iPhone is a rip-off and quit buying them every time Apple announces a new one. I doubt it though ... ... what a shame.

Developer's don't have to use the app store to sell their apps, leaving Apple unable to legally 'steal' a part of your profits.

Apple can no longer wipe apps from iPhones over the air just because they are not approved by the company.
