1.1 Million Jailbreaks

Dave Caolo at TUAW:

The hard-working Chronic-Dev Team has announced that just over one million users have jailbroken their iOS devices with Greenpois0n Absinthe 2.0. That’s impressive, considering the jailbreak was released just three days ago.

I used to jailbreak my iPhone, but haven’t felt the “need” in years, especially with iOS 5. Why do people continue to do this?
