But that will only be with Apple's permission, at least on their 
iDevices. Apple supposedly has applied for a patent on a process that 
will allow them to identify and permanently shutdown jail-broken 
iDevices thus closing that route. I suppose that if you NEVER turned off 
Airplane Mode, turned on WiFi, or synced with iTunes, they might miss 
your jail-broken device.
