Why do people Jailbreak their i-Devices?

[rayz336]

I personally jailbreak my devices for customization and activator gestures

It's just mostly for customization. All user preference. I stopped jail-breaking my phone 2 models ago.

I can see the appeal of jail breaking your device. I often find myself having an itch to customize certain things so iOS is easier to use, but I never actually go through with it. Apple has added so many things in the past for iOS overhauls, that they have filled in so many gaps. I love that Apple looks at the jailbreak community and what they are jailbreaking for to see what to add to each OS. I see it as an essential community and while apple might patch the exploits that allow it to happen, they do not completely eliminate the ability to jailbreak a device.
