Jailbreaking iPhone Now Legal 423

Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday July 26, 2010 @12:21PM from the wait-for-the-appeal dept.

whisper_jeff writes "The US government on Monday announced new rules making it officially legal for iPhone owners to 'jailbreak' their device and run unauthorized third-party applications, as well as the ability to unlock any cell phone for use on multiple carriers." The EFF has further details on this and some of the other legal protections granted in the new rules.
