iPhone 3rd Party Apps: Between war-torn philosophies

I am one of the few, the rare, that isn't sure about whether or not to have 3rd party apps on the iPhone. If you asked me a week ago, I would've of instantly replied, "Heck yes! Apple needs to get it together!"In late August, I started to "hack" my iPhone. I put hack in quotations because really I was just benefiting from everyone else's hard hacking efforts. In any case, my iPhone was hacked.
