Jail break ipod touch what does this meam?

I have seen people talking about jailbreaking an ipod touch what does jailbreak mean



its HACKING and altering the software on it so it can do unauthorised things BUT on jailbreaking WHY?





Cydia,QuikPwn (and other jailbreaks) have cause more problems for people than its worth.. (I never jailbreak but buy apps like Air sharing to enable limited disk use) as the only other extra is unapproved apps and background wallpapers (which are distracting).





NEVER JAILBREAK! It causes so many problems and yet adds nearly nothing! here is only 25% chance of sucess with 50% chance of killing it. and any attempt voids any warranty you have!





the 2.2 software from apple is stable and works well and lets you add hundreds of apps (many free) from the itunes App Store, many with features available in jailbroken items.





Jail breaking became redundant when the 2.0 software was released as it add almost nothing to the ipods abilities (other than the ability to browse its file structure which also makes it less secure).





Jail breaking also voids the warranty and does cause many issues form files vanishing, memory leaks and loss, rebooting and even failing to boot.





Jailbroken ipods cause so many problems (just search on here for them). It alters the boot code so its not really an ipod at all.




It means you free your system from working directly with apple, so u can add such things like games without adding any money to steve jobs(apple CEO) pocket :-)
