the unique opportunity to add instability and vulnerability to your device.

Fun aside, a jailbroken iPod will let you install software obtained through other than Apple channels.

A jailbroken iPhone can be used on other carriers than AT&T.

you can’t jailbreak the new touches yet.

@Tao not really. Jailbreak isn’t unlocking the carrier. A 3g phone can be jailbroken but not unlocked and it’s just as stable as the regular one. My girl got same phone I have never used jailbreak. They act same

yeah, I kinda get mixed reports on that one. some people tell me all well and never a problem.

Some say nothing but trouble since broken.

I don’t really know if it’s worth the trouble
