A few days ago it appeared on the internet a news indicating that Windows Phone 7 has been jailbroken. The platform was launched only a few months ago, but there is interest from the community to "free" this platform from Microsoft's control. The company from Redmond had a very pacifist attitude towards the new jailbreak and this led geohot to purchase a Windows Phone 7 terminal. Considering its recent problems with Sony, maybe geohot wants to try a new challenge in a field in which he could not be attacked if he makes jailbreak and decoding programs. Here is what he published on his website :
perhaps the more appropriate way to deal with jailbreakers
I'm going out to buy a Windows 7 phone
In response to geohot's statement, one of the directors of the Windows Phone 7 project at guest on geohot to send him an e-mail to receive a free terminal from the company in Redmond. This could be a strategy to draw attention to the platform because "opening" it for the installation of any kind of applications would convince people to buy the terminals. geohot could attract a lot of people to this new platform if it produced jailbreak and decoding programs. Unfortunately, Apple fans have no reason to hope for a jailbreak or decoding solution for iDevices in the near future.
