In July 2010, the US Library of Congress deemed it perfectly within the rights of the owner to “jailbreak” their apple products. But what is jailbreaking?
Simply put, its a way of opening up the software so as to allow the use of non-Apple apps and software. The term jailbreak comes from the hacker subculture’s belief that Apple is totally against letting people mess with their products(figuratively they put their products in a sort of software jail cell). It is up to you whether to jailbreak or not.
Advantages
- Multi Tasking on older generations of iPod Touch
- A LOT more games(including gameboy and other systems using emulators)
- Many more apps some of which are pretty neat
- Custom themes for buttons and backgrounds
Disadvantages
- If you are using an iPhone this might void your contract or warranty
- Apple store employees won’t like you and might not help you very much
- Can slow down your iPod/iPhone/iPad
In my next post I will show how to jailbreak an iPod Touch(its basically the same for all the products though except maybe the iPad).
