FWIW, I checked the aforementioned person's feedback on Taobao.com prior to buying my DPT-S1 as I was interested in getting a jailbroken version, and from what I gathered he was legit. The last time I checked he said he could only jailbreak the Japanese version though, but I'm not sure if that had to do with the firmware version (which should now be updated on the English version as well).
I couldn't however arrange for such a complicated process of acquiring the device, so I just bought the factory version from someone on Yahoo Japan auctions.
As of this writing I don't have the balls to attempt disassembly of the device to check for a JTAG connection, which I presume should be there. If it stops working I'll have nothing to lose!
