Jailbreaking

Hello readers.
Something other than poems or sentimental stuff for a change.

" Advantages and Disadvantages of Jailbreaking an iPhone/iPod Touch "


ADVANTAGES:

  • Its mostly about the looks, the numerous themes you can have by jailbreaking your device, definitely pays off.. Like this one  " http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/imgcache/15570.png "
  • Another advantage for iPhone users is that they can unlock their device and get rid of the limitation to Carriers. 
  • Games, ofcourse of the many fun features of iPhones and iPod touches are the games, you get each and every game from the AppStore absolutely free through the ' Installous ' app that you can easily get by jailbreaking.
  • By Jailbreaking you can use your iPhone's 3G network ON YOUR LAPTOP. Yes, you can. You won't be able to download torrents but you can definitely get some work done..
  • One of the plus points is the categorizing of application but since Apple's latest firmware has this feature by default it isn't that big of a news.
  • You can use PDF readers, and your device can be used as an eReader.
DISADVANTAGES:
  • Personally, I HAVE jailbroke my iPod Touch, and I don't think there are any disadvantages to jailbreaking unless you end up screwing your device in the complicated process, But then again with the works of the developer of SpiritJB and GreenPois0n, Jailbreaking can now be done with just a click of the button.
OVERALL
  • In the end, the advantages far exceed the disadvantages and jailbreaking is a very useful process. In a sense, jailbreaking will untie the hands of your iPhone or iPod Touch and allow it to be used to its full capabilities. It also opens up a whole new world of functionality.
How to Jailbreak, The best, easiest way.
Go to either " http://www.spiritjb.com/ " or " http://www.greenpois0n.com/ " and donwload the tiny jailbreaking software. I have used both and have a 100% success rate with 3 different devices.
I have tried the 4G and 3G iPod Touch with GreenPois0n, and the 3G iTouch with SpiritJB, I have no idea about the 4G models.
Both of these jailbreak softwares DO WORK with the MC models.

I think that is all that should have you decide your mind.

I hope this helps you.
Till next time, 
Later.

PS :- *Update* I'm not sure about the iOS5 Jailbreaking. And will update all of you as soon as I figure it out.
