It is apparently not illegal to "jailbreak" or root an iPhone either, according to fairly recent court decisions. However, rooting a device CAN void a warranty, so be advised. And there are lots of places in the world where you don't have to do anything technically illegal to be thrown in jail, or at least have it cost you money to rectify the situation! ;-) Still, I like "rooting" better too.
