neasteflorin Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Apple created the App Store, a closed garden of Eden, where apps are approved, digitally signed and DRM-ed. More and more apps are added every day to Apple's repository and most of them work better than their 'hacked' counterparts. There are exceptions of course but Apple's veto process has one big advantage.It guarantees that apps are not malicious. I realize I'm playing the devils advocate, but what the heck...

neasteflorin Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 Which brings us to my point; the developers need to earn some money for the effort of writing those apps. Otherwise there is no incentive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stroke Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 There's the incentive of being able to write ANY app you want. The SDK and AppStore are very restrictive. It won't die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apowerr Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 The scene won't die, but once 2.0 came out I went legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glubbdubdribian Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 funny thing is, i would have expected illegal versions of the apps you have to pay for from the appstore to come out through cydia or installer but i haven't seen any. which is fair enough cuz if i was a dev then i'd want some money for my work . But now it seems tht the only reason for jailbreaking is customisation... and gpsphone of course... and unlockng the sim... and free versions of openssh and terminal... and the ability to download files... and file converters... and volume and performance tweaks and five icon docks and folder groups and other tweaks... yh... i don't think it's gonna die... haha. same situation here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
