    Recently bought an apple itouch, beautiful bit of kit

    I`ve heard there is a way of legally cracking it so applications & games can be shared?

    Any shop in the city that can do this?
    :confused:

    Unlikely. Its not illegal per se, but AFAIK it voids the warranty. Im unsure.

    Basically google is your friend ;)

    Yep modifying the software on it does break the terms of it's warranty so you would not be able to go back through the provider that sold it to you in the event of a problem, and you would have problems going back through Apple with it on the same grounds.


    The other side of that is that, like many other brands, there is a wealth of legal software available online to modify devices, and if you are the type to check up on what you wish to download for you device, then it can be done with no ill to your device.

    As the previous poster said, Google is your friend on this. You can find plenty of information online and in forums where the pros and cons of the software can be discussed and explained.

    I would look for forums that discuss the itouch, and pose your questions there. The Tech forums on Boards.ie may be of help to you also.

    Try our very own Apple Media Devices forum. I'm sure those guys know the score.

    The posters above are correct, it does void your warranty so there is an element of risk


    I got this done by someone in Limerick a few months back, it completely transformed my itouch, no regrets

    If this one died & I had to buy another, id do the very same thing

    If you want to get it done, send me a PM:)

    Can somebody give me a simple answer to "why i should jailbreak my itouch ?"

    I have one for about a year and have often been tempted to jailbreak it. Why ? Just because everybody else is doing it.

    I feel like I'm missing out on something, But as i see it there are thousands of free apps out there for the itouch ( granted some are crap some are excellent)

    Am i missing the bigger picture ?

    I thought the same, you can add 1000`s of apps to your itouch & organise them by categories, games like metal gear solid, assassins creed as well apps that you can view word docs & pdf with. It obviously still has all the original functionality

    Its your call at the end of the day
