Default OK, What is Jailbreaking

Pretty much what it is, is hacking your iPod to be able to use 3rd party applications. Now, since the Appstore came out, it has pretty much defeated the purpose of jailbreaking.

I also liked this: YouTube - 51 Reasons to Jailbreak your iPod- In 30 Seconds

It's a really great 30 sec clip of why you should jailbreak your iPod, even after the app store came out.
