What are the benefits of Jailbreaking an iPod Touch exactly?
Freedom to install whatever you want. The ability to have a quick menu to toggle things instantly, instead of trawling through a settings menu. Extensions to almost any of the built in things (safari download plugin, yourtube, etc) Themes There are too many to really list.
Freedom to install anything you like :buddy:
Any carrier you want on the iphone.
True Multitasking (with backgrounder)
Do you guys have any reliable tutorials on how to go about jailbreaking? And any good apps or extensions I should get once done?
[QUOTE=lil JJ;23157600]Do you guys have any reliable tutorials on how to go about jailbreaking? And any good apps or extensions I should get once done?[/QUOTE] just use Spirit, one click jailbreak. Not much I can suggest, what do you want to be able to do?
[QUOTE=codenamecueball;23157656]just use Spirit, one click jailbreak. Not much I can suggest, what do you want to be able to do?[/QUOTE] Well the thing is I don't really know what it can do. Can you make phone calls with certain apps, or can you get free apps from the apple store, etc.

(Like the appstore except this was around first)
There are no downsides to jailbreaking, unless you do it wrong. Incorrect album art covers are about the only hiccup I've come across.
[QUOTE=lil JJ;23157735]Well the thing is I don't really know what it can do.

It also opens the way to piracy from the app store, but that's looked down upon.

Free apps is warez, and as such, I would steer clear of it.
[QUOTE=lil JJ;23157735]Well the thing is I don't really know what it can do.

(Check the 'Post your Springboard' thread in the apple section)
Alright, well I think I'll stay away from possible warez. Thanks for your help guys.
