I'm listening to the last iPad Live for the Team Jailbreak vs Team Pure battle. I hope this is not already posted I searched and didn't find anything. I think alot of the Team Pure reasons were not valid and were reasons that could be applied just as easily to Team pure iPhones also. I know it's in the Jailbreak section so it seems like it's starting off biased but it's the only section that seemed like it would be appropriate to be posted. So people let us know which side you're on and why? what apps you use, what concerns you have if any? how does your phone run compared to when it was vanilla?
Security: saying Apple approves apps and so there is no malware or possible maliciousness is called blind faith. There are many things that developers can do where there is a will there is a way. There have been apps approved by Apple that happened later to be found sending data back to the developers. The app goes through an approval process but Apple doesn't continue testing the app forever, they don't go through every line of code so what stops the developer from having a time bomb so the malicious code doesn't activate until months and months later. There are apps that go to the developers servers ie. Skyfire who says that once the app is approved and resides on iPhones it goes to the servers and bam malicious code is updated/added to the app. I'm just saying it is possible just because it hasn't happened yet is no indication that it never will.
Performance: saying that the user is able to apply so many apps the phone slows to a crawl. This again can be applied to the vanilla iPhone. There are so many features that are included with the phone that if they are used at the quickest, highest setting will slow the phone down and decimate the battery life. Just try to have your phone with 3 or more email accounts using fetch/push set at the 15 minute intervals, turn notifications on and set all alerts to on for all apps, turn your brightness to full and have location on for every app that requests it. Then see how fast your phone is and how long your battery lasts. Any electronic device is a use at owners risk by providing any type of choice with the features.
My team jailbreak comment, I've been jailbroken on my 1st generation iPhone because we didn't have iPhones in Canada until the 3G. I remained jailbroken on my 3G because I didn't see a point in having a data plan on my iPhone. In the 3 years I have remained permanently jailbroken for necessity I rebooted my iPhone three times due to un-responsiveness. I have never had any other issues battery, wifi or otherwise my phones were rocks. The 3G continues to work flawlessly to this day. Now my vanilla iPhone 4 and until recently iPad has had problems since day one. I've rebooted both devices in one year over 10 times due to un-responsiveness, crashing apps, battery percentage not updating. I've had to restore to default over 6 times because of battery issues.
