iPhone jailbreak and where to get it
It is now legal to jailbreak the iPhone which is probably why this application was released. . The hack for the iPhone 4 jailbreak means the Apple App Store is not the only place individuals can download apps from anymore.

The practice of jailbreaking was illegal under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which prohibits the circumvention of copy protection mechanisms. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act was not being touched with jailbreaking as outlined by the Library of Congress (LOC) which was reported by Details Week. LOC’s chief librarian wrote that cracking the iPhone is “innocuous at worst and beneficial at best.” Apple strenuously disagreed. The company issued a statement in which it said that, when it may be technically legal, jailbreaking the iPhone will void the device’s warranty.
Jailbreak connects iPhone to T-Mobile
Jailbreakme.com was having a hard time staying up Sunday with how popular the iPhone 4 jailbreak was.
