I jailbreak for Siri on my i4 and "free" tethering because I am one of those grandfathered data users.

IMZDL has a great Siri proxy, $20 a year and its actually as fast as my gf's 4s thanks to their new Siri port.

Using Mywi On Demand to tether my ipad2 to my i4 when I'm out and about. The great part about On Demand is that I don't have to do anything on my i4 to get my iPad connected. Once my iPad requests a data connection, it automatically pairs with my i4 and I'm off and running in just a few seconds. Paid 20 bux for the app, which easily paid for itself the first month I've used it. I browse lightly and have never received a warning from AT&T about my usage, i.e. don't expect to run torrents on it, although I have downloaded apps up to 1gb in size a few times

But Seriously, I have a lot of pirated content on my phone.

Why? Because most 99 Cent apps on the appstore aren't worth 99 Cents.

I actually do buy apps; I just Bought NOVA 3, ME:I, DrawRace 2,Dragster Mayhem, and Cardinal Quest.

All of those I already pirated and had on my phone, but I actually bought them because they are worth the money they charge. See, I use piracy differently then most people pin down people for. Innstalos (Screw you censor. You can't deny that the app exists by censoring it. Mentioning it does not promote piracy it promotes confusion in the forums.) is seen as an app for piracy but it's soul purpose is to let you try apps before you buy them. If I like a game after I play it for awhile, I buy it. If not, I delete it and move on. Can Innstalos (Again, screw you censor.) be used for just getting apps? Yes, but that's not it's purpose, that's not what the developer made it for, and that's not what you should do, because that's unlawful and wrong.

But when it comes to Music, well... *cough*

I 100% agree with you! You would be a friend of mine if I knew you

I test out games and lots of them are crap not worth keeping or have many bugs, freeze up or don't run. See many review often when users complain I with I had my $2 or $5 back

Music is also another thing where .99 per song is overpriced on a full 12 song album and the record co's are just raking in the cash for a 1 hit song. Would be nice in the singer/songwriter was getting a bigger slice of the pie.

and DRM just plainly sucks! I want to convert and take my stuff everywhere on any format I want!

Also the amazing gaming using emulators; MAME etc!!!

JB is great if you're a dev. makes the back and forth process so, soooo much easier. My coder can drop an unsigned WIP build in dropbox, and I can install and launch it right on my phone without ever going through a PC.

Perk #2, I can still play the old Drop7 before it got Zyngafied (ruined). Yes, I paid for it (twice!)
