Hi,
I have an iPod touch, and I was wondering how to get rid of some of Apple's preinstalled apps, like Stocks and Maps. Is their anyway to get rid of them without jailbreaking? Thanks.

Plain and simply put, no. Throw them on your last page to get them out of the way, that's what I did.
 
if you jailbreak you can delete them. i was fooling around one time and erased every ipod application on my ipod for fun =D. all i saw was the black wallpaper and the silver dock when i respringed. had to restore =D lol.

Lol, you must have some free time at your hands 😛 You can always just hide them, they will still be there but just not showing up in the springboard. To thread starter: Yes, you have to be jailbroken to do that also 🙂
 
another way you can do this is after you jailbreak your ipod install catagories from cydia and then you can put them all in a folder and on your last page so they only take up one spot.
