There is a debate going on in the Apple iPod Touch forums about whether it is a crime or not to jailbreak your Apple products. Think back a couple of years to when online music sharing (i.e. Kazaa) became a huge phenomenon. I seem to recall that the same debate went on (and is still going on) where it was illegal to download music but nobody really got punished until it was brought into the media spotlight. Then there were a few rare cases when a small number of people were actually arrested.

Back to the iPhone/iTouch jailbreaking debate. User "franciscoandre" said, "...well, at this moment it's impossible to install games legally on your iPod Touch. Your friend probably jailbroke his iPod, which in my opinion is not so interesting and actually illegal."

User "Duddo" fired back, "I am fully aware that "jailbreaking" an iPod Touch maybe foolish, reckless, risky and more than likely to void the warranty, in short, it's a dumb *** thing to do. But when did it become a criminal offence? Has anyone been fined or sent to prison yet?"

Read more about this in the Apple iPod Touch forums.

Apple computers is leading in sales of $1,000 and over computers. This is according to NPD Group, Inc. a custom research company based in Port Washington, New York. Apple has secured 66% (2/3) of high-priced computer sales in the United States. For computers costing under $1,000 Apple only ranks at 14% of the total sales.

The vice president of NPD, Stephen Baker said, "iMacs are growing and the Windows desktop ain't. No matter how you look at it, Apple is outperforming Windows,” He is referring to Windows-based computer sales dropping recently. This is most likely because "Apple has got better distribution than it's had in the last 15 years," according to Mr. Baker. "They're in the right spot right now. There's the iPod advantage. But the big thing is the stores."
