[Flyordie]

Jailbreaking is now legal -- on an iPhone, that is.

In what is being called a slap in the face to Apple (AAPL), new government rules are allowing iPhone owners to run applications that haven't received Apple's official blessing.

Apple has frowned on people tweaking their iPhone to allow unauthorized apps -- known as "jailbreaking" -- calling it unauthorized modification of its software, according to the Associated Press.
