Jailbreak or wait till the June update?

1 Answer

Answer :

I’ve had my ipod touch since January and I’m still waiting for the June update, I would have jailbroken it but… i haven’t really wanted to all that bad, and come June I really don’t think I’ll use it much more because of the apps, yes it will be nice because it’s not an iPhone and I can’t just get on edge whenever there is no wifi around, but remember that jailbraking .. well actually there isn’t anything that takes away from it, although it is a process that isn’t exactly the easiest (some have tried to make it easier but most have failed), it just depends on what you want to do with it honestly, jailbroken has much more stuff than the June update will, however there are things like the accelerometer that jailbraking doesn’t take in, it might by ver 2.0, but for games it doesn’t have that, while the June update games will have accelerometer use…. we’ll see
