Look, I hate to see one of the great ones switch to the other side, but can anyone really blame him?? This kid has more to think about in life than everyone else wanting a free, convenient way to unlock/jailbreak their phone.
Does anyone not really understand that at the end of the day, people that do all the great things for the community do it for the recognition, ...for their resume'?? Which eventually should lead to a payoff? If you as a person don't understand that, then you're out of the game. The whole idea of this (along with standing up for what's right and fair) is what drives innovation and the economy. Others will follow in his footsteps and, rest assured, we will all be able to jailbreak our phone still.
If apple wants to pay him to ruin their devices, why shouldn't he? Jailbreaking makes iOS better...jailbreaking is the only reason that I once considered buying an iOS device (and because google TV cost more than an xbox).
If apple wants to prevent jailbreaking, I say let them shoot themselves in the foot...as for their customers...I really couldn't care less about them. If they are willing to continue supporting Apple after this past year, then they deserve to get screwed over.
