Yeah but it's like mainstream music.
It isn't really good, unless you don't know better then to go with the flow.
And it's not what people who actually love music want.
Haha, this comment is so retarded I refuse to believe it's real :D
Plaf: i have to disagree that there's no downside to jailbreaking. You compromise the security heavily.. infact there has been a worm for iphones, that spreads only on jailbroken phones.
If you understand what you're doing, and know how to change the SSH password or disable it, then the only downside is you're running potentially untrustworthy code (not so bad as it sounds, this is the same as basically any desktop computer...) If you don't know how to do those things, it's probably best avoided.
The main problem with jailbreaking though is that there's just not much point for most people. It's good for a really small number of things that most people will never want. Oh, and piracy of course. For coding on it without paying apple's $99 fee it probably helps plenty though :)

good points, okay so maybe it's not all good - I haven't encountered or heard of anyone having any problems, but I guess generalising from that small pool of data to 'everyone' is not good :)
i don't use any of the possibilities I got from jailbreaking mine.. screwed around with multitasking a little (there's no point on a phone) and with some dashboard replacements, but really, I can do what I want using a stock iphone. Which I can't with an Android phone by the way, due to the incredibly shitty app market on there.

I used the jailbreak a lot when i first got one, but that was before the app store. There was a lot of good reasons to use it back then :) The other good side is the unlocking, I managed to get a 1st gen iphone with a huge discount, then unlocked it and used my super cheap contract with it. That was great :)
There's definitely SOME need for multitasking on a phone though.. things like skype you want running in the background, and I wrote an app that uploads video files to the net recently - as it is, you have to sit around waiting for it to finish before you can use the phone. Apple seem to have those cases covered with their semi-multitasking in os4, but i think we'll have to wait and see if it covers everything as well as it should..
Is the android store not so good then? They seem to have a lot of apps on there now, but I've yet to actually get my hands on one to try it (I'll perhaps get hold of an android phone fairly soon though, a client is starting to look at android apps in addition to iphone). The sdk doesn't look so good, java only, wide variety of hardware specs/screen sizes, and a wide mix of OS versions with poor compatibility :/

Do these people that destroy iPads really don't get that Apple doesn't give a fuck what you do with the thing? You paid for it, it's yours. If you want to break it, nobody is gonna give a shit, really..
It's the Office Space thing, I guess...
psonice: background processes are definitely needed - that, and "multiswitching" - but that's all IMO. I just found that with true multitasking I suddenly had more work to do, since I had to manage which programs ran and which programs didn't, in order to preserve battery life... so all in all I think Apple's way of doing "multitasking" in OS 4.0 is the way to go.
okkie: i saw one video where a guy microwaved an iPad, he said somewhere in the comments that he was expecting to get the cost of the iPad back from the ads since he was expecting it to go viral. Not sure he succeeded because, like you say, nobody gives a shit :)

running out of material, are we? ;)
MY TURN!
Time to bake an Apple-pie :-)

hey yo zerkman, I respect you and imma let you finish, but nobody disses Apple like px!
zerkman - i wonder what your ensurance company says about such an installation :)
"were you dropped on the head as a small child"? Probably.
NEW MATERIAL OR GTFO NOOOOB!
so....so so so so.....
How many Apple store apps are basically slideshow presentations you pay a buck for?
Don't include that "I AM RICH" ehm...APP(wallpaper)?
That was fucking brilliant idea.

Eh none? I haven't seen useless apps costing a lot of money. My brilliant flashlight app (a white screen) was free!
Deus, you just seem to hate on apple because you want to hate on apple. Without any knowledge behind it.
Where does this frustration come from? Did you have to do your homework on an Apple II?

Nah, i did my homework on an Altair, never managed to turn in a single arithmetic homework in time.

dude.. there is 500.000+ apps on there, and you're whining about 31 fart apps? given the ratio of tards out there, there ought to be 10.000 fart apps :)
