Hi, It's also worth pointing out that the most widely spoken about piece of "Malware" (Incorrect term used by the media in this situation) that you can be hit with after you've jailbroken relates to people who have installed a ssh server and not changed the password. Trust me when I say that you w

Hi, if you are using iOS 6 then jailbreaking it isn't worth it. Please Google for the differences between tethered and untethered jailbreaks and it will be more clear. Basically right now untethered jailbreaks for iOS 6 are not available. Good luck. -- Raul A. Gallegos A signature always reve

As I think Sieghard pointed out, there is no untethered jail break for IOS 6 yet. Jail breaking is pretty trivial once there is an untethered jail break available. Raul or someone on this list pointed to instructions on jail breaking 5.1.1 when it was available, and like I said, they were pretty tr

I agree. I believe Apple when they say they make a lot of the decisions they do based on ensuring the best customer experience possible for the greatest number of customers. Controlling the apps that make it on to your iPhone definitely provides greater security, increased protection against malwar

Hi, you might want to Google for that since you will get a lot better responses than here on list. However to give you a short answer, jailbreaking your phone is the ability to gain root access to the phone. In lamens terms this means it gives you the ability to do things which are not normally

Hi, interesting observation. I believe that Apple's idea with the jailed iO'S apps is so the average person doesn't have to use common sense. This way, the complete tech novice can use the iPhone as easily as the total tech nerd. Since most of the public lacks common sense, this helps in doing

I too have a lot of respect for Sieghard, however, I do have a difference of opinion when he says that apps containing harmful code is a huge problem on Android. I'd agree it's more of an issue than it is on Apple, but I wouldn't say it's huge. I wouldn't think it's any different than Windows or a

Hi there all. I always respect what Sieghard has to say on list because he is obviously very knowledgeable and has demonstrated that he knows what he is talking about. That being said, here is the other side of the view on jailbreaking. I'm a happy jailbreaker and while Sieghard's points are ve
