    Jailbreaking your IPhone is essentially the best choice nowadays. With the ammount of apps going up on the Appstore that cost a fortune, it's worth cracking it. You can get all your apps for nothing, and make further improvements to the stuck down layout that is Apple. Everything you wanted to do with your IPhone you can with it being Jailbroken and they even give you the option not to unlock it which is what causes most problems when it comes to jailbreaking your phone. Give it a go i was worried at first but glad i did now.

    when i was a kid the NES was the most new game console and my friends had atari commodore, a cousin had the 2600XL and my intellivision was defective at that dates, i lost to play several cool games because i couldn't afford a console until SNES came out to market, and also i lost to play several cool games on it because of money, now thanks to emulators i can play all those games that couldn't on my childhood, even in my PS1 i had NES and megadrive emulator and in my PS2 a SNES emulator, now PC emulator is a good way to have those old games that made you laugh and cry, startropics i loved it!!... and i guess that no one will search on every PC in the world to search for illegal ROMS, right??
