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.

To make the new iPhone, apple must had many concepts to decide which one is best so I have found two cool videos of some rumour concepts that show some pretty nice and some pretty amusing concepts of the iPhone's new design. So here they are:
iPhone 4G Concepts Video 1
iPhone 4G Concepts Video 2
Don't to you think some of them are really cool I personally find iPhone shuffle quite amusing but anyway I can't wait till the real one will be revealed to us, leave a comment tell us wat you think. Damian Gaslawski...signing off.
I thought that some of you'll be interested in the news about the top 10 new iPhone apps so here they are:
1. The Sims 3
It is a fun game to test yourself if you're an idiot or not it is very similar to a game idiot test. Very good value for money as it is $0.99! You can have a laugh with your friends and family by making them do a test.
3. StickWars
4. Pocket God
Quoting from the apple website: "Episode 17: Surf's UpGenerate a tsunami by pushing the water from side to side. This opens up a new underwater area with a new danger. A mysterious statue protects ancient ruins." Price: 0.99
6. Bloons
8. Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic now can be experienced on iPhone and iPod touch the game brings you back down to genesis era! Price: £5.99
10. iFighter
- 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.
