Finally, Windows Phone Jailbreak Tool Released

There is a irreconcilable attitude toward jailbreak between hardware vendor and enthusiastic fans. But Microsoft is trying to reconcile this situation. A few months early, Microsoft met Rafael Rivera – the first person jailbroked Windows Phone 7, and gave him a shirt which printed "I was the first jailbreak for the WP7 person". Official authorized to encourage the jailbreak for Windows Phone 7.

Recently, Chris Walsh, one member of Cheveron WP7 development, posted a message on Twitter to tell everybody that only with $9 and the users can jailbreak WP7 easily. That means the official authorization for Windows Phone 7 starts.

The mobile phone with jailbreak allows anyone install and run apps outside of the official Windows Phone Marketplace. The official unlock operation is also very easy to go, the users just need a Windows Live ID, a “Unlock token” which cost $9 and a unlock tool. The only different to some jailbroked mobile phone is that the developer cannot upload the applications to Marketplace.

This isn't the first time that Microsoft has embraced the hacking of its devices. After initially not allowing hacking the Kinect, Microsoft changed its mind, and encourages Kinect hackers.
