Recording video is really the only compelling reason for me to Jailbreak but I still haven't really wanted to just for that. Perhaps I can be swayed if I hang out with someone who's done this. - Mark Krynsky

I used the jailbreak for Qik, but I finally gave in and installed a winterboard app that changes the background image. - Phil G

@Jordan ahhh, but of course...I didn't put two and two together until you said that! D'oh! @shriya @Todd @jason thanks for the suggestions - excellent! @dan :P pffft - Sarah Perez from FriendFeed MT Plugin

Video recording and camera zooming will happen soon as an official iPhone feature, I'm sure. Why should I jailbreak my phone and, as the article ploints out, void my Apple warranty, when my iPhone works just fine as is? - Bill Sodeman from FriendFeed MT Plugin

Qik is why I jailbroke to begin with, Modem has potential but I hate you have to register it, and Winterboard is just awesome. Jailbreaking isn't as intrusive as some people think and... it is easily undone. - Michael Ellis

Great to see an article about jailbreaking iPhones that explains the "why should I?" part so clearly. I guess the thing that would get me to jailbreak is for the iPhone to be a first-class citizen on a wireless network. Why, if it's got wi-fi and all its other great connectivity shouldn't I be able to interact with it? Oh, wait... iTunes. - Zach Beauvais from FriendFeed MT Plugin

Hmmmm. I've been avoiding this. Thinking about the tethering, however. - Kevin Gamble

I use QIK.com .. for my Iphone ,,, its amazing - johnpiercy

Very good article. I have hesitated since buying an iPhone, but this won me over. Doing it now for the Winterboard and for the tethering :) - Baard @ Pixum
