A jail broken ipod touch and other stuff?

Question

i've heard about the jailbroken thing for an ipod touch but what does it really mean?

and what do you have to do to get it jailbroken or un-jailbroken?

and is it hard to do?

and do you have to have a place with wifi for it to work on the web and stuff?

like do you have to have a wifi spot in your house to use it?

thanks

Jailbreaking is when you "hack" your iPodt so that third-party applications can be installed. When you jailbreak you install a program called Installer, which will appear on your home screen. Through Installer you can download different applications that will allow you to do more things on your iPod. Installer is incredibly easy to use and its completely free. Jailbreaking is also an easy process. Download the iPod Pwnage Tool 2.0.

This program will jailbreak your iPod in the most easiest way. A jailbroken iPod can do everything a regular iPod can do except with more applications. You still need a wifi spot to download the apps and do other stuff on the internet. The jailbroken iPod will still need wifi to function properly.

Warning tho, jailbreaking an iPod will void your warranty. To un-jailbreak it tho is also just as simple. Just restore your iPod through iTunes. After that it is just like you bought it brand new. Have fun hacking!

jailbreaking means that u can download 3rd party apps to the ipod touch using the installer app... if you jailbreak your ipod your warrenty is void so do it at your own risk.... the new ipod firmware 2.0 also allows you to download 3rd party apps but if you jailbreak it you will have a lot more apps to chose from....

you do need a wifi hotspot to use the istaller app which lets you download apps.....
