Cydia

In an attempt to stop piracy, the Apple company strictly stopped users from accessing the some of the inner files of your iPod which control the functioning of the iPod. In this manner unless we break this barriers we are unable to modify inner configuration or insert contents which are not accepted by iTunes (for example other creators applications)

To break this barriers we must jailbreak our iPod and create a springboard, which is a second way of reaching the blocked content. The main purpose of this is to install Cydia. This application works as a second appstore where you can obtain (mostly for free) apps to modify the settings of the iPod such as Activator, WInterboard or SBsettings which will be mentioned in further posts.

In our next post will show how to obtain Cydia!!
