The Apple App Store is still fully functional after jailbreaking your iDevice and all apps you genuinely purchased can still be updated through the App Store like before.
No you can download apps without jailbreak, but you will be able to download apps that have been disapproved by apple if you have jailbreak.
Yes. You wii can be repaired so that you can be able to update or get apps even though your son tried to jailbreak it.
if it the latest version that apple has, then it wont jailbreak because apple puts out patches with their updates so you wont be able to "jailbreak" it! but if you wait and do not update the ipod in a while, then the jailbreak crew will make a new jailbreak for it! Or... You can you a tethered jailbreak like Redsnow or Red mond pie but it is very complicated!
Technically yes because it will remove your jailbreak if you update and any cydia apps, such as installous will be deleted.
It's possible to do so... but then you will need to jailbreak your iPad. For maximum security, you'd better use apps from the AppStore (Apple store ?) Raf
u carnt unless u jailbreak
Updating the iPod Touch software erases the jailbreak. You can update, but it will erase your jailbreak.
you can update them
There are apps that are originally purchased by another Apple ID
They will probably release it after apple releases their ios 4 version update
Simple answer: Yes.Only update when the Jailbreak you use has a new version / then only update the Jailbreak, not the iPod/iPhone.
no, to get a newer jailbreak you have to restore the ipod touch and then update the ipod touch and then download the jailbreak. that is a huge con for jailbreaking.
