I got an ipod touch last week and i was wondering whether to jailbreak it.

what does jailbreak do?

It allows you to install whichever applications you want to use. For example, I now have Mail on my iPT, as well as a few games, a terminal emulator, an NES emulator, maps, stocks, weather, etc.

None of those things can be installed on a stock iPT.
 
Lemme guess, this is one of those joke threads, right? Ha ha, had me going there for a while. :)
