Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Jailbreaking your iPhone is just opening up the filesystem so you can add third-party apps, run it on other wireless networks, use synch software besides itunes, etc. You should keep in mind that this will normally void the warranty on the iPhone, and there is the slight possibility that you will brick(ruin) your iphone in the process. Here's some articles with a few suggestions:

Jailbreaking your iphone is letting you add a program such as "installer" and "cydia" which is like the apps store but they let you customise your home screen and such. Examples would be like, instead of when you slide to unlock your phone, you could make it say "put finger here and slide" their all free games if you Jailbreak your phone but you could get in serious trouble. Also theres the risk of getting your iPhone bricked. I have got it bricked but i have been able to restart my phone and restore it in iTunes and got it working again
