Jailbreaking Your iDevice

With the release of the first generation of iPhone in 2007, the only way to run software on it was with web applications in a browser limited to those published by apple. But with the release of iPhone 3G and the launch of Apple’s iTunes App Store in 2008,

iPhone users were able to choose from thousands of apps that could actually be installed on the phone itself. To date, there are tons of apps available in the store.

WHY YOU NEED TO JAILBREAK YOUR IDEVICE

The major reason why you need to jailbreak your iDevice is because of the limitations to the iDevice and the App Store offerings, Apple restricts some basic abilities that other cell phones offer standard, including recording video, custom ringtones, photo zoom and the ability to change the look and feel(including icons). With the help of jailbreaking, you will be able to bypass all these limitations and allows you to take the advantage of third-party apps. Specifically, those that Apple has declined to distribute through the App Store. These programs are however distributed by the developers so as to avoid the distribution fee charged by Apple. One of other reasons of jailbreaking an iDevice is unlocking it. Unlocking an iDevice breaks the lock SIM card and allows the device to work with all carriers of SIM card.
