Do you even know what your talking about? What exactly is a computer or pocket computer these days? Basically the point of a computer is to run applications. That’s it.

The main application for any computer is the OS such as Windows, Linux, Android, iOS4 etc, that instructs the computer on how to behave.

The rest comes from individual apps. To say the iphone is not a pocket computer is ridiculous since it can load various applications that run on its platform just as Android does for its platform. What exactly more can a rooted Android do that a jailbroken iphone can’t? They all pretty much do whatever the hacker wants it to do. In fact, with my iphone4, the only reason I want to jailbreak it is for free tethering. That’s it, I have no other reason to mess with it since it does everything I want it to do.
