I own an iPhone myself, and so does Andy... anyone else in the SETI@home community with an iPhone or iPod Touch? I'd love to know.

And if you do own one, have you bothered to jailbreak it?

My current theme is ZX5 by zausser from modmyi.com...

I had my jailbroken - then I broke it! It would crash / run slow all the time. I reloaded 3.1.3 and it's been fine ever since, I just haven't got around to looking at jailbreaking it again.

Breaking into the firmware to allow the user to do what he/she wants to do with the hardware they purchased. Allows loading 'other than authorized' apps to the phone.

Kinda like 'housebroken'.....ie, you don't have to tell the phone what corner it has to pee in.

That's good to know. The County Sheriff lives a couples of houses away. Didn't want to have to ask him.
