Android’s Open Source Code Base Modified
High Tech Lounge — ... the “jailbreak” didn’t really offer much to Android phone owners, aside from more access to Android’s core functions. These could be useful for future application development, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that rogue online community gets back to work on “jailbreaking” Android again. And then Google will release another update to fix that exploit. And then the community will jailbreak it again. Do you get a sense of where this is going?
