There's a report in this morning's paper that the Library of Congress has ruled that it's legal in the USA to "jailbreak" an appliance. This obviously doesn't affect what apps Apple must accept into their AppStore (that would be an antitrust issue) but I think it makes it easier for users to get software from non-Apple sources and might possibly stop Apple and others from insisting that unlocking voids the warranty.
