Wired Chooses Jailbroken iPhone

This is fantastic. Wired has listed out their Top 10 Gadgets of the Year, and making the list as the only mobile phone isn’t the Nokia N95 (which I would have voted for, fanboy that I am), nor is it the Apple iPhone. It’s the JAILBROKEN Apple iPhone. Yes, that’s right. According to Wired magazine, the iPhone, as Jobso intended, is nothing to write home about. In fact, direct quote, “Out of the box, Apple’s iPhone is horrifically crippled.” Horrifically. Great word.

No, no. The iPhone is basically useless, unless Jailbroken. What’s that say to me and everyone else? Um, Mr. Jobs? Your precious phone could have been SO much more had you given this SDK out a few months (~6-9) ago. I also love that finally someone big is coming out and publicly acknowledging that the vanilla iPhone isn’t all that and a bag of chips.

I’ve just gotten my 4GB iPhone from a pal to play with, and haven’t really touched it yet, but I’m excited to give it a good going over.
