iPhone 4 Jailbreak Just Released
A recent court battle in the home nation for Apple Inc. has insured that more iPhone users than ever will be able to jail break their phones and do so legally. The latest version of the smart phone, the iPhone 4, now has new software from 3rd party sources that will allow users of the device to over ride iOS 4 and be able to install apps which may not be approved by the phone’s maker. Only days after the US copyright law upheld the rights of iPhone users to use the jail break software, JailbreakMe 2.0 came out and is now being offered via a sit that will allow users to install it directly to their phone via the built in Safari web browser that comes with their Apple smart phone. Problems were to be expected as a normal course of bug testing with the public at large and the 2.0 version of the app was no exception. Developer Comex commented that initial issues were solved that revolved around the Multimedia Messaging Service and also the Face Time video chat features. In prior years, the process of performing a jail break on a user’s own phone was deemed to be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act in the US because the law was seen as being designed to stop users from going around any mechanism designed to safe guard a software maker’s copyright.
However, just a week ago the Librarian of Congress in the US ruled that the legally acquired jail break software could be used and in order to cement the ruling, issues a number of exemptions to US citizens so that they could perform the function without violating any federal laws.
