Ignoring the fact I spent I long time over whether to use jailbraked or jailbroken; it depends whether you see it as a verb or a noun

Are you able to answer the question ?

I kinda have mate ^ Jailbraked isn't even a word, even Jailbreaked would have been ever so slightly better.

Matt-08: how can you be sure? You don't know where or from whom the OP bought the iPod. It may have been jailbroken in the past, indeed it might still be if the OP doesn't know what apps should be installed by default. Rather than just saying "No, it hasn't" then concentrating on bad grammar you could have explained the situation fully to someone clearly confused.

Killjoy: chances are it won't have been jailbroken. If you do a full restore with iTunes then your iPod will be restored to it's factory state even if it has in the past been jailbroken. Jailbreaking causes no permanent changes or damage.

Are you concerned that is has been jailbroken, or would you like to know if it has been to save you doing it?

If it has been and the guy did a maser reset, you'll never know.

IMO, Jailbreak is ok as a novelty but certainly nothing to worry about.

The reason for the question was that I just wanted to know if it was possible by looking at the software build to see if I could download non-apple applications.
