If you un-jailbreak your iPhone you get your warranty back, at least that's what some guy told me

@parody I think it's more like if they can't tell that you have jail broken your phone in the past, then they can't revoke your warranty.
From memory, there is a quick way to un-jailbreak, and a proper way. The quick way will leave some residual files around that the Apple bods could see and use to prove that the phone was once jailbroken. The proper way basically involves nuking the phone back to factory defaults, and starting again.
(I'm not sure if this applies if you have mucked around with the firmware in the modem to move it onto another provider).

I think there's a good chance that if you sync your jailbroken iphone, it may phone home and flag that device on Apple's database.

The Killswitch isn't exactly a big red panic button on the back of the iPhones.

Yup, Apple responded with exactly that ...

Arguably, the ones who may be most affected are the likes of Google who rely on add support for their revenue. I wonder if the new legislation gives advantage to companies who, like Nokia, have chosen a more open development.
