Ruling Allows ‘Jailbreaking’ of iPhones

Owners of the iPhone will be able to break electronic locks on their devices in order to download applications that have not been approved by Apple.

Senh: It's not like people aren't already doing this. As long as people are jailbreaking the iPhone just for the unapproved software, and not to download software in the App Store for FREE. I'm surprised they let this through. I hope this means people can finally download competing software with Apple - like FireFox, Opera Mobile, and ... drum roll ... Flash.
