I have an iPod touch, and it was the best thing I did. I can't believe that I didn't do it sooner.

I would be best, though to leave this type of decision out of Newschoolers. Here's a forum I use regularly. They will be ablt to tell you anything you need to know about unlocking/jailbreaking.

okay to all those people that insist that jailbreaking your iphone or ipod touch voids the warranty... shut the fuck up. it doesnt. you just have to reinstall the firmware and its good as new. and DO jailbreak it its so worth it! this is the them on mine- just one of the things you can do to a jailbroken apple device- https://newschoolers.com/web/forums/readthread/thread_id/447432/

I have alot of horror stories from my jailbreaking time.. but thats mainly because I was one of the people that originally helped create Ziphone for mac (claim, bring on the hate, nerd)! but yeah, with all these auto jailbreaking apps there really shouldn't be any problem :)

have fun! :)

PM me if you have any questions :)

idk much about iPhone jailbreaking, but I mod PSPs (with the internet programs written by people by you)  and I regard you guys as gods.  I am bowing down in front of my screen right now.

Go for the jailbreak, consumer electronics are so much more fun when modded.

i did it to my ipod and plan on doing it on an iphone im buying, but to all u ipod touch jailbreakers its not tht big of deal to have to wait a weekend or until the next time ur home if the shit hits the fan and it does. but waiting a weekend for my phone would suck.

Could somebody who knows a lot about this please explain to me, or provide a link to a legitimate, good way to jailbreak my iPhone? I don't want to follow some crappy instructions on youtube and fuck it up.

thankss
