Hello all:

I am an iPhone developer, and would like to get to know more about the internals of the OS and device. I know HOW to jailbreak, but I want to know specifically what it does to the system. I've been looking for info about it, but can't find anything solid. If anyone knows or can point me to resources, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks! Thomas
