If I understand properly, jailbroekn iPhones have the ability to install a less secure app (or, rather, an app harder to secure). The problem would be if there is only one jailbreaking program available, and you have to have the SSH running to have it — because that would be yet another monopoly forcing their ways on your use of your phone. The maximum liberty and safety isn't from a closed garden, but a garden where eveil trees are clearly labeled as such——because hacking isn't always bad. I'm not happier in a world without drugs: I'm happier in a world where no one can sell me drugs without being both competent and honnest enough to tell me what would be the consequences for me.

Windows has nothing on the number of times mine needs a hard reset. (No jailbreaks in sight either). And on the reliability side, the iPhone is appalling.
