In this case, 'jailbreak' referred to is the ability to run unofficial software. Through ChevronWP7, WP7 operating system users simply pay nine dollars a year to get that capability.
Previously, one way to be able to run unofficial apps on WP7 is to join in the App Hub as an application developer. This however requires a subscription fee is much larger, ie 99 U.S. dollars.
According to its maker, ChevronWP7 was originally designed for amateur developers to try their homemade applications running on top of Windows Phone 7. So far there are already some applications available, including web servers, screen capture and monitor the battery.
ChevronWP7 first appeared in 2010. Shortly after its emergence, the developer of this tool is contacted Microsoft to make improvements on that device.
Previous ChevronWP7 exploit a loophole in WP7 software to do the job. The gap, according to Microsoft, was closed in January 2011.
Some WP7-based devices have appeared on the market. The latest is the Nokia Lumia 810 and 700 that was announced in October 2011 and will be available shortly. Both phones are Nokia's first mobile phone using WP7.
