Apple using scare tactics to stop iPhone jailbreaking from becoming legal

[Juha-Matti Laurio <juha-matti.laurio () netti fi>]

"In the more than two years since the iPhone has been available, Apple has largely remained quiet about "jailbreaking,"
in which users modify the device's software to run third-party applications.
Now that the EFF is pushing to make this practice officially legal, Apple is finally speaking up, but is it too late?

In a support article published late Wednesday, Apple for the first time discussed jailbreaking,
calling it "hacking" in order to make "unauthorized modifications" to the iPhone and iPod Touch."
