Well said. I share just about all those sentiments.

Agreed, they need to figure out (if at all possible) a way to stop app piracy then that will be fine in my books. Jailbreaking <> Piracy, although it does make it possible but that is the user's choice to be legit or not. If they do manage to somehow lock down all the holes/exploits until others are found and prevent jailbreaking I'd cry. I'd also feel sorry for all the devs who write great apps like mQuickdo & biteSMS (2 I would hate to be without) just to name a few.

I hope you're right. That's a much better place to focus their efforts IMO.

Still think this is an initiative more focused on AppCracking and pirating than anything else. Sure that team is gonna tackle unlocking and jailbreaking, as both do hurt Apple’s interests, but pirating is still more damaging than any of those…
