I can't help but suspect that Jobs would have been happy to leave the iphone US exclusive if it had not been for the gray market of jailbroken phones.

Hell, i could have sworn he had to be talked down from lawyerbombing jailbreakers and cydia into the ground.

Why wouldn't he want to sell it worldwide and make Apple significantly more money?
