DID YOU KNOW?
Jailbreaking is the process of manipulating operating system software (e.g. Linux) to bypass measures designed to protect specific files (stored in special areas called jails) from being used. The general public first became aware of the term following the popularity of the Apple iPhone.
Jailbreaking the iPhone and iPod Touch allows users to run unofficial code on their devices to bypass Apple's official distribution mechanism, the App Store. Once jailbroken, iPhone users can download many applications previously unavailable through the App Store via unofficial installers.
Jailbreaking is distinct from unlocking, which is the process by which a mobile device is made compatible with telephone networks it was not specifically licensed to be used with. The legality of jailbreaking an iPod or iPhone remains unclear, particularly in the context of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
