Apple kills Jailbreaking on newest 3GS shipments.

It's a sad, sad day.

Word is they did it to stop App Piracy, which is admirable, IMHO.

I don't jailbreak to use pirated apps. I bought ALL of mine legit through the itunes store .. I do JB so i can run apps like Notifer/Reminder and Popup Blocker that do things that the iphone should be doing out of the box. 3GUnrestrictor is another one that I use for my skype calls to Europe.

Seconded! I just want to enable functionality that should have been my choice to enable/disable in the first place. I love the iPhone interface, but I still can't quite 100% buy into a platform that restricts my choice. I find myself settling for a less than stellar UI experience on my Tilt with Windows Mobile more often than using my iPhone for this reason. I would definitely NOT use an Iphone that wasn't jailbreakable.

I'm not saying anyone in here does, but it happens.

They'll stop laughing when they see 100,000 phones returned and new sales slow to a crawl.

Um, no. Jailbreakers are a laughable minority of iPhone users, and the people who would return their phones because they can't do it is even smaller.
