Shef: If you read the comment I posted about jailbreaking my phone, you would see that I was "unsuccessful" and so have not jailbroken my phone. Also, I never plan to again for just that reason.

As to the protocol point. OK, I didn't word it very well. I meant the fact that the data being used in the protocol is protected by a key that they had to acquire by Apple in order to use the protocol "legally". Or at least legally in Apple's world. The fact that RA didn't is the issue here.

As far as my jailbreaking my phone in the past. i purchased every tweak that I used when I was jailbroken. I never used hacked games/apps. I just used it to add some interesting functionality to my phone. Not to steal tethered bandwidth from AT&T, or use the phone portion illegally.

I stopped wanting to jailbreak my phone after it became clear to me that every update Apple made to iOS was going to mean a royal pain to get my phone to use that update along with the software I purchased via Cydia.

As far as your "clown" statement. I don't think trolls are welcome in any forum, even ones like this.
