So I though to my self what you may be thinking should I jailbreak my iPod Touch/ iPhone or not? In this post I have included a couple of pros and cons in case of jailbreaking your device.

Advantages:

+ free

+ new features that are not available on the app store

+ games -free and (mostly) legal

+ tweaks like an extra app available on your springboard dock or spinboard; that is when when you twist your device the icons flip.(personally i don't think they are that good

+ extra security tweaks that help to protect your device that are not available on the app store

apps that are yet not on iTunes.

Disadvantages

for a starts you can't jailbreak your device if you have upgraded your software to version 3.1.3 this can mess up your device and you may have to restore your device.

-when you plug in your 3G or 3GS device after jailbreak you will have to run the jailbreak again every time you plug in your device to computer.

-Whilst jailbreaking there is a chance it will screw up your device(this happens rarely) so i advice watch some clips on youtube how to do it before you start jailbreaking.

-If you have a 3G or 3GS version of your iPod/iPhone you cannot simply turn off or reboot your device. if you do that when you try to turn it on again you may find a notice saying you have to plug in your device to itunes and you cannot use your device until you do so. The iTunes software finds your jailbroken device hostile so you'll have to go through the process of jailbreaking again.

- if your iPod breaks and you send it off for a repair to apple store or any other electronical store they may take your device off you and will not give it back. I suggest to restore your device before you take it to the shop.

-When you restore or update your device, iTunes will kill your jailbreak.
If its just a restoration you may jailbreak your device again.

I know some people (including me) who onvce they jailbroke their device they loved it and I also know some people who switched back to orginal state of their device.
All i can say to you is decide for your self, experiment. I leave you to it ;)

!!!C A U T I O N!!!

if you have updated your ipod/iphone software to the latest one available on iTunes (3.1.3) please don't try jailbreaking as it can screw up your device. It is safe if you check your software version before you go off jailbreaking. In case something may go wrong(it shouldn't) please backup your device on iTunes.

As most rumours say that the new iPhone 4G is coming out in June, I thought that I should tell you guys about it. The new Generation of iPhone will be out in June This year The new IPhone 4G is coming around in June! The new features include a video camera you can now make videos on new iPhone also there is totally new design better touchscreen and the design is just beautiful. there is also an improvement in the quality of a loud speaker. There is also a new feature like modes for e.g. power saver and gaming mode. The Internet is far more faster and the new apps are just amazing! There is also OS x2. The beautiful concept of this magnificent device is inspired by the design of curves and tapering of mac book air coupled of the touches black. The new features are:
  • OLED screen
  • 3G Data Speed
  • True GPS!
  • iChat Camera!
  • Removable battery(which is just a great improvement)
  • Standard Headphone jack (finally yay!)
  • 3.2 Mega pixel camera video cape able
  • 32GB capacity
  • Messaging Light

I think this is the device of the year and it will be perfect for business men as well as people who will use it as a device to play around a bit. But although there are so many cool new features this will affect the battery greatly the new iPhone's battery will probably last no longer than 2-3 days. Still this is an awesome device. Unfortunately I don't have enough details about it to rate it but now we just have to wait till that beauty comes out! Damian Gaslawski...signing off.
