"Thanks to a set of rules issued yesterday by the Librarian of Congress, you can now jailbreak and unlock your cellular phone without violating copyright law" - Money Talk News.

Ok, so I don't own an iPhone, because I'm going with the droid, but I read a lot about jailbreaking the iPhone out of curiosity.

Upon reading a lot of the articles, I saw that jailbreaking an iTouch is possible...my question is ... What would be the benefit of jailbreaking an iTouch?

I understand that jailbreaking an iPhone and then Unlocking it would be beneficial to cellular users to use it on a different network, but so far the only advantage I see to jailbreaking an iTouch is basically the only aspect that is still illegal; that is getting apps that would not normally work or for free. So anyone care to tell me what good jailbreaking an iTouch would do? I'm curious and thinking about trying it if it is beneficial enough.
