As others have pointed out, Apple may try to say its a violation of the DMCA since the copy protection on the device was broken, so it could be interesting. If I had an iphone, I wouldn't go near an apple store with it, unless it was back in its non jailbroken state. Its not worth having someone get too upset.
Actually, baiting the too-gung-ho Apple store folks with it would be part of the fun.

I don't recall signing or accepting an EULA when I bought my iPhone - what is Apple going to do? Go after all the jailbreakers in court the same way the RIAA went after file sharers? That would get interesting.
