Question

Answer 1

Jailbreaking the iPod Touch or iPhone means to hack it to enable read/write access to the file system. This has enabled people to install homebrew applications onto their devices and get more out of it than what comes straight out of the box. There is a huge iPod/iPhone jailbreak community that uses and develops software for these devices. Since the App Store launched, non-jailbroken devices now have the ability to install third party software as well, however, these applications must be approved by apple and many must be paid for.
