There is no prof its just my humble opinion but i will elaborate:

1. If Apple were to win that jailbraking case than MS wouldnt touch this with a 10 foot pole.

The case was unwinnable pretty much, Apple contested it pretty much on behalf of phone manufacturers. It was on principle more than possible winning.
2. This PS3 jailbreak has been getting A LOT of press... be it online... why not send a $600 dollar gadget to be a part of this buzz?

Becasue from the looks of it the natural thought of it would be PR. They couldn't gain true PR from this if people have the same feelings as you
3. By doing this it may seem like they are embracing him but no one wants their system jailbroken. I'm gonna go with thats fact. This is a good way to get people on your side (people who like free stuff lets just say.... and "arrrggg booty")

Nope no one does want their phone jail broken, but if it is going to happen you may as well not fight it.
