I've read lots of things about jailbreaking (first, to make sure it was legal). Some users jailbreaking is great, some say it screwed up their iPod Touch or iPhone. I have an iPod Touch 4G version 4.3.3, I beleive some things I read said that some people who tried to jailbreak their iPod Touch using this version got a message that their iPod version was "too new". Jailbroken iPods can do lots of cool stuff, but I didn't want to take any chances because I paid a lot of money for my iPod and I love it.
Bottom line, can anybody answer these questions:
What are the benefits and/or pros and cons of jailbreaking?
Will jailbreaking screw up your iPod?
Will it delete anything?
Can you still do all the things you would be able to do on an unjailbroken iPod?
What are the best tools for jailbreaking?
Any help appreciated, thank you!
(remember, jailbreaking is legal where I live)
Which leads me to another issue: I'm still looking for people to help with writing news and reviews (games for free!) on my site for iOS and Mac App Store games.
I'll be at hand anytime after the 24th June (last exam) if I am required :)
I don't like the piracy issue because you need to support developers and you can't complain when most apps are between 59p and £2.99.
Besides, I don't pay for most of my games anyway. All I have to do is spend some time reviewing them.

Jailbreaking the iPhone or iPod Touch is also a lot easier than similar operations on other consoles with less chance of 'bricking' (jamming up) the device.
The advantages are that you can install apps from the Cydia app store, use flash and apps that Apple don't like, as well as different MP3 players and full access to store items on the device like a hard drive, accessing the files on the device.
Obviously, it will also play hacked games, which IS still illegal.
I've jailbroken several devices and every time returned to Apples OS. Despite its restrictions, it's still the most stable and neat interface.
