I am a person who is more likely to jailbreak and iPhone than most. I like the idea of shaking my phone to bring up Expose panels and I can see the benefit of many of the other apps and tweaks that are currently available. In theory you can customise and do much more with a jailbroken iPhone and it should be a no-brainer to make the jump and crack it open to enjoy all of the new possibilities.
It is not illegal and on the newer phones, like the iPhone 4, it should not have the performance impact that jailbreakers experienced on earlier iPhones, but still I haven’t made the jump and jailbroken my iPhone 4.
As much as I want to do this, I use my iPhone far too much to take the risk of bringing instability into my daily mobile routine. It would probably work perfectly and offer me much more flexibility, but I just can’t do it. Somehow Apple has made me believe that it will cause problems without implicitly saying so. One thing Apple is good at is making you feel that it’s core software configuration is always best and this is where the controlling nature is of benefit.
