In fact, our best statistics show less than half of all the jailbroken devices have pirated an app.&lt;p&gt;I agree with your points, but I don&apos;t want people to misunderstand the point of jailbreaking: jailbreaking is about controlling your own device and doing things the App Store doesn&apos;t even conceptually allow.</text><parent_chain><item><author>JonLim</author><text>Many of my friends own iPhones, and many are flabbergasted when they find out that my phone is not jailbroken nor is it filled with free apps.&lt;p&gt;I happily pay for quality apps.

What benefit do you get from me using your service if I&apos;m not paying you? In some cases, like Google, the benefit is that I can be sold to advertisers. Nothing is really free, and it&apos;s better, cleaner, and less scammy feeling to know and pay the cost up front.&lt;p&gt;If there&apos;s a free vs. paid app that I want I will always go for the paid app. I never tried Instapaper free.</text><parent_chain><item><author>JonLim</author><text>Many of my friends own iPhones, and many are flabbergasted when they find out that my phone is not jailbroken nor is it filled with free apps.&lt;p&gt;I happily pay for quality apps.
