    One funny thing I find about the " I pirate only to see if it's good then buy it". argument is.... .... That if true, app tracker would have everything. But the truth of the matter is, he only apps people bother uploading to app tracker are he ones worth playing with. They really don't waste time uploading garbage.

    Without jailbreaking, unlocking and ****, what do you have now, a over price phone with over price apps. The only reason iPhone are on high demand is because of these options. T-mobile has over 1 million customers using an iPhones. So imagine 1 million people bought unlocked iPhone without a contract is at approximately $500.00 for a 16gb. I recently jailbreak my phone untethered to 5.0.1. I had it for one day without reinstalling the cydia apps and I never saw my phone so boring to play with. Yes I could pay for all those apps but why if all these apps are either little tweaks or apps that I could get via other source. Apple should be glad that there is jailbreaking and unlocking cause without that you would make android phone look way better espically now with the Samsung galaxy s2 is better as of hardware.

    One more thing, mywi cracked by sinfuliphone repo is the best thing for cydia. I pay for Internet for my house and for my iPhone. So why I should I pay to transfer the Internet to my iPad from my phone. I'm paying 25.00 dollars with tmobile for Internet and then to pay another 15 a month to tether with another 40.00 dollars + for home Internet. Its riduclous how we being used as consumer. I know the cable companies are kicking themselves in the buttocks for not inventing tethering or allowing someone to invent the wireless router. I love doing business when the consumer gets enough for a product that we don't have to think twice if we should buy it or not because of the price. But one thing business will always have over us is the crave of materialistic thing and the society that promotes it.

    I for one, pirate and buy. I pirate and then buy the ones i very much like. I'm no hypocrite so i will say it as is, i do on the other hand pirate the ones i like that i believe are too pricey. Come on people, $1 million downloads is a cool mill$, now price it as $9.99 then charge in app stuff = GREED. Call me what you want but i will pirate those apps. Some one mentioned people wanting to jailbreak to pirate. You are on point on that. That is one of the reason i want to jailbreak besides getting all those other good stuff from cydia as well.A lot of people here talking like they don't pirate can Kiss M A**

    I upgraded to an iPhone 4s and I'm patiently waiting for a jailbreak so I can reinstall Install0us again :) remember when all cydia apps were free and AppTapp was the official AppStore? yeah.. for the most part since I'm on the 4s I've paid for all the apps that I can afford. Some of these apps I would have never found without Install0us.

    funny...the same people who talk about how wrong it is to "pirate" apps and such, are the same people who stream/ download movies, music, etc... the same people who would never admit at one point they have or still do stream/download the above mentioned....so...what makes apps any different...everyone likes to jump on a bandwagon when it sounds good...stop being hypocritical if people want to "pirate" apps so be it, let them deal with the cost that comes with it, if you dont mind your own business and continue to do you

    I pirated the Tom Tom gps app. I hated it. All that time to download and I deleted it within 5 days. I'm glad I didn't pay for it. The weather channel max I pirated. I like the app. I deleted that as well and bought it in the app store. A free trial is a must weather its 0.99$ or 49.99$.

    we all know by now JB isn't illegal for the US court of justice taking the time to state & confirm still, there are unknown facts about **** & app tracker website. actually they're supported by ads n as far as we know some of the income is actually shared with developers of the apps who do have no problems in distributing with app tracker alternative store however, apple is probably claiming commissions on the app sales as they might have an exclusive agreement with each & every app developer. in our opinion it's just right on time for apple to get earnings through advertising on the apple app store rather than being so annoying with developers for their policies on placing apps within the apple store. it's the market driving tendencies & making it a standard , not the other way around.marcello d'aniello

    No Pirate Apps = No Jailbreak; No Jailbreak = No iPhone. And now a days, no iPhone = no Apple.Be careful what you wish for.

    Good point. Apple made a monster out of jailbreakers and unlockers but in reality and I know apple executives knew it from the start that jailbreaking and unlocking will only make apple look good espically for there reputation as a overprotected girlfriend.

    Great example why we use ****. Imagine paying 49.99 for an app that you don't like. It's like a retailer telling a customer that we don't have a refund policy.

    Hey John, spend that money on your kids or girlfriend/wife. People that are jailbreakers and **** user are not cheap but smart consumers. Business goal is to maximize there profit and as consumers, we need to treat ourselves as a business. we need to buy things that we need not want. So most to all these apps are things that we want not that we need so I could care less if I don't buy it. John, you sound like you getting money from apple and if not, as a consumer, your business is going bankrupt.

    Developers can always migrate to Android where it's 10x easier to crack apps and 10x harder to develop for considering the fragmentation involved on all the different Android devices. My friends get jealous of these cracked apps.. they look for it on their device and either pay or crack it.. they don't know whether I did or not.. in turn.. cracked apps = publicity for these developers.

    Well maybe if I spent more time being a pirate and less time working to make money, and pay for my apps, I too could spend all day downloading apps from apptrackr and have abetter frame of reference. Sorry if I use my time for other ventures.

    So you blatantly admit you will not pay the programmers behind mywi for the work they do, but rather go to sinfuliphone and steal from the jailbreak community as well.

    I subscribe to netflix for my movies or rent them from iTunes. I use pandora for music I don't have, and pandorajam to legally acquire music for transfer. So .. yes I can talk about pirating apps.

    Im all for buying apps in the App store, but it sucks wasting money on apps that you delete a day later. They should make a RETURN option for the first 10 days, if you don't like it, hold the icon, select return and credit your iTunes account.. If not im a stay with ****.. Then when I like the app I'll buy it so I have it so when I can't jailbreak... This 4s blows without a jailbreak.. Waste of a phone.. Just like any other apple product..

    I stool a bike from walmart, rode it around for a couple days didn't like it so I left it by their dumpster. A week later walking in the walmart they recognized who I was and called the cops. I told them the bike wasn't worth what they were asking for it, and being that I only took it for a couple days, it was no more than a free trial. What's the harm in that? I can't understand why they were so pissed.

    They need a test period more like one month cause if I don't use it a lot in that time I delete it cause it's a waste of hard drive space. 24 hrs not long enough or a thirty day refund policy then they can make money keeping it in the bank collecting interest some apps take 24 hrs just to learn

    LOL. I read your post about stealing a bike and thought about it for a while. I feel guilty now: What's your address so I can pay you royalties for the (un)intellectual property? On second thought, doesn't MY use of the post in this way have ABSOLUTELY NO BEARING on your use/ownership/right to it?This isn't Kansas anymore.
