You can't be physically stopped from jailbreaking your iwhatever either. Apple would probably like to prevent that from happening but they haven't spent nearly as much effort in the system design as say Sony did with the PS3 or BluRay towards making it difficult. You have three choices: Buy Apple and color within the lines. Buy Apple and jailbreak, lose stability in favor of features. Buy Android. Frankly I find it difficult to muster much outrage over Jobs' tyrannical jihad against openness (or whatever) when there are so many available alternatives. Many people are quite content with a walled garden approach; castigating Apple for taking their money seems backwards.
