Patented iPhone = Jailbroken iPhone?

Engadget let the world know thanks to a tipster that the gang over at Kramer, Levin Naftalis & Frankel – otherwise known as Apple Legal – have broken the law and could be sued by themselves on behalf of Apple. After all that is what Apple does to people who jailbreak their iPhones isn’t it?

As you can see from the patent diagrams; which would have been drawn up by the law firm as a part of apple’s patent application for biometric security, the diagram on the right is that of a jailbroken phone. It is complete with Installer app, SMBPrefs and the iWood Realize theme from the iSpazio repository.
