Yeah, i second that - more videos = more helpful to everyone. What i found interesting about this one though is that it didn't stop at bypassing the code-lock but also alludes to what you can do to the phone from a non-forensic standpoint, e.g. load in "real-spy"ware (as in bugging or some other surveillance tool).
The later part of the video showed the guy loading in a filesystem app (afs-something it was called??) to access the phone's root partition from his macbook. If you're a gumshoe hired to keeps tabs on a suspected cheating spouse and was presented with the suspect's iphone, that could then be a prelude to loading in custom code or commercial bugging software to turn the phone into a bugging tool and the evidence of the jailbreak removed (as opposed to using the code-bypass to get into the phone to do forensics) So instead of bypassing the code-lock to access the phone for forensics purposes, you could instead load in surveillance/bugging software and then remove obvious evidence of the jailbreak (e.g. uninstall Cydia) and restore the passcode so that the user was none the wiser... Now that i think about it, this could be used for corporate espionage too (e.g. CEO getting his phone bugged...)
