Best Answer

Jailbreaking is a process that allows iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch users to homebrew applications on their devices by unlocking the operating system and allowing the user root access. Once jailbroken, iPhone users are able to download many extensions and themes previously unavailable through the App Store via unofficial installers such as Cydia. A jailbroken iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch is still able to use the App Store and iTunes.

iPhones come locked, you are supposed to bring it to an AT&T store to get it unlocked. But, some people can jailbreak your iPhone so that you can use it without the phone feature. **** dont know who wrote this but, NO. locked and jailbreak are two different things. rooting and jailbreak are the same thing. just means to gain access to the root files, so you can configure the way you want. you must jailbreak an i device before unlocking it (to be used on other networks than programmed for)

It means you have installed software on the iPad that allows it to run apps from sources other than the app store. Don't do it if you want to take advantage of the latest games or apps on the iTunes apps store, since once you jailbreak, you're not allowed to connect anymore.
