Why we Jailbreak

So why do we jailbreak? Well, first off lets define what jailbreak is and what it's intent. Jailbreaking on an Apple device such as an ipod touch or iphone is a term we geeks use to rid those devices of blocked read and write access. What does that mean? Basically we are opening the portal to the device so we can have access inside the devices to change files in any way we want. This is also called open source. With it now being open source, we can customize and ipod touch or iphone in many many different ways. One can change fonts, add themes,add different UI, etc. We want to have the freedom to do whatever we want to our own device. There are also some negative aspects to this also like hacking, application cracking and potential virus capture. Apple says its illegal to jailbreak but I dont think there's such a law in the law book. I you jailbreak and have a problem and need to take it back to the Apple store, you can always restore the device back to the orignal OS. You can also use jailbreaking to unlock your sim card so you can use other GSM mobile service as I did (ie T-Mobile)So I think the main reason why we jailbreak is one to bring those devices to their FULL potential, and two to have a sense of self expression. In your comments below, tell me why you jailbreak. I will be blogging tutorials and expalining different events a they come out for these devices.
