Jailbreakers Getting Frustrated with Apple?

Regardless of how one feels about jailbreaking and those behind it, there is no question that iPhone Dev Team has contributed a lot to the iPhone community. The team has been constantly providing hacks for iPhone updates to help those who want to try cydia applications or do other things get around the limitations Apple has put on iPhones. Unfortunately, Apple is hell bent on stopping the practice altogether. It has tried and failed in its legal efforts, but it may add a kill switch to stop jailbroken iPhones from operating the right way. While iPhone Dev Team has not given up on jailbreaking, it does not intend to play the “cat and mouse” game with Apple no more:
it’s a few weeks later, and Apple has closed the jailbreakme.com hole. They’re shipping devices with FW 4.0.2/3.2.2, impervious to this particular jailbreak. So now, people will begin to ask: will there be a jailbreak for devices that shipped with 4.0.2/3.2.2, out of the box? No, there won’t be. FW 4.0.2/3.2.2 was *only* released to fix the jailbreakme hole. With FW 4.1 still in its beta stages, it makes no sense to escalate the “cat & mouse” with Apple for FW updates that only fix the jailbreak holes.
Unlike what a few other sources have reported, the team has not given up on the practice altogether. The war against Apple has not ended, but the company is making life more difficult for jailbreakers each day.
