Do apps work on iPod touch without internet connection?

Question

Can I buy an app, like a game, and be able to access it when no WIFI is available? Or do they only work with internet? Also, people talk about jailbreaking?! What does that mean?

Answer 1

Yes, you can play games without an internet connection, you just won't be able to post your high scores or anything like that.  But if scores don't matter to you, then that's no big deal.

Some applications, however, require a wifi connection, such as Remote and news/movie times apps.

And jailbreaking means opening your device's firmware to access the files that are not supposed to be available to consumers.  It allows you to install third party apps that are not allowed in the app store and to customize your iPod (i.e. change the theme, background behind the icons, and icons themselves).
