What is jailbreak iPhone?
"Jailbreaking" is hacking your iPhone so it will run any type of app, even those that are not approved by Apple. The process of jailbreaking was illegal until recently, but people have been doing it in order to fully customize their phones, run specific apps or unlock their iPhones so they can choose any GSM Network for service. Edit: First of all most jail breakers don't jailbreak to use any type of app. This is called pirating. As a matter of fact, a lot of jail breakers are against it. Jailbreaking will not allow you to unlock your phone...That must be done by your carrier. This is quoted from a website called jailbreakqa.com "What's the difference between jailbreaking and unlocking? Jailbreaking means removing restrictions in your device's default software so that it can run software not approved by Apple, such as extensions (tweaks) and other packages installable via Cydia. Carrier unlocking is the process that allows an iPhone to be used as a phone on other carriers that aren't supported, such as an AT&T iPhone being used for texting and calling on a T-Mobile plan with a T-Mobile SIM card. Jailbreaking does not automatically carrier unlock your device; they are different processes. See this guide to carrier unlocking options."
What versions of an iPod Touch can you jailbreak?
any type but its ILLEGAL!!! You can jailbreak all 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation iPod Touches running firmware version 3.1.2. A jailbreak for 3.1.3 is not yet available. It is not illegal. The only illegal side to jailbreaking is downloading cracked apps which you must usually pay for in the App Store. ____________ It is NOT illegal. While it voids all warranties, and the downloading and use of the paid applications is illegal, the act of jailbreaking is NOT illegal. That would be like saying that it's illegal to uninstall windows on your PC and load it up with Linux. Added by Mike Murray
