Hi Joseph, I had a quick look at the article you provided the link for and if you read it again you'll find that most of the "reasons to jailbreak" are things the author is hoping the iOS 7 jailbreak would allow. The article was written right after iOS 7 was released and before a jailbreak was available. I am not a jailbreaker so I don't, for example, know if there is a jailbreak to add other things to Control Centre just to use one example. Other things like turning off the apparently headache inducing zoom effect you can do right in iOS. Yes, some of what you might be able to do with a tweek like Activator is neat, but I personally was much more tempted to jailbreak a couple of years ago before Control Centre and Notification Centre came to iOS. Anyhow, as Jerry pointed out, if you have already upgraded to iOS 7.1.1 you cannot jailbreak, you would still have to be on iOS 7.04 or earlier to do so. As for iOS functionality, you don't loose any, you still have all your apps from the Apple app store, you can still buy apps from the app store or content from iTunes.

This link provides some examples such as the Activator app: http://www.iphonehacks.com/2013/09/top-reasons-jailbreak-ios-7.html If I jailbreak my iPod Touch 5th gen will I still be able to access the iTunes store on my iPod and or iTunes on PC? I of course still want access to iOS updates and app updates. <Smile>. Maybe a better question is one of "what functionality will I lose by jail breaking." My iPod is out of warrantee so not too concerned with that. If anyone who has been there done that can help I'd really appreciate the information in order to make an educated decision. <Smile>.
