The answer is very simple after jail breaking your gadget you can install and use third party apps freely without any hassles, which are available from the iTunes store.

This jailbreak is though not recommended for iPhone 3G users right now nut iTouch users can use it freely. People who have been using the iTouch will have a clear-cut idea so as to what quickpwn as a pwnage tool can do.

The Bad part is that quickpwn was firstly available only for Mac user but is now available for windows users too. One can get a brief guide on the following link how to install quickpwn on their iTouch –

An iTouch user using this tool for the first time will have the following questions which includes the good’s and bad’s of quickpwn, and these frequently asked questions are sure to solve out the problem –

Q.1) Is Quickpwn a complete firmware flash, or just like an unlock?

Q.2) Can the iTouch be reverted back to the original firmware?
Ans.2) The answer is very simple; it can be restored using iTunes.
Q.3) Can the iTouch still be updated when new official firmware’s come out?
Ans.3) Yes, it can be restored and reused and the user can even jailbreak the new firmware as soon the jailbreak is released.
Q.4) Are there actually any specific advantages or disadvantages in jailbreaking an iTouch?
Ans.4) There are lots of advantages in jailbreaking your iTouch if you cannot afford the applications and install them the other way round. Third Party Application will run easily. But as such disadvantages are very less unless one installs it in the wrong way and then suffers.

The amazing application that developers are coming out with leaves the users spellbound and actually after seeing them wants to possess them somehow and jailbreaking seems the only option out.

Though one has to personally use a jail broken iPod variant to find out what actually the consequences are but it sure is worth a try.
