Most blogs today have a plethora of information and tutorials on how to jailbreak your iOS device. If you've just bought an iOS device and are new to the whole jailbreaking concept, I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't even know what Cydia is. So if you've found yourself asking the question that why should you jailbreak your iOS device, you'll get all the answers right here. Everyone has their own reasons for jailbreaking their devices. Some power users want greater accessibility while others just want cool customization options. Now who would be better than the developer of Cydia, Jay Freeman a.k.a Saurik himself, to explain to us all why we should be jailbreaking our iDevices.
The fact remains that most people jailbreak their iOS devices because of the wide customization options and the tools that they get access to, which would otherwise not make their way on the iTunes App Store. If one particular app doesn't get approved by Apple for inclusion in the App Store, expect it to turn up in Cydia. The jailbreaking phenomena has grown to an unimaginable extent and whenever Apple is rolling out a new firmware, people are already debating on the fact that whether the new firmware will be jailbreakable or not.
On another note, if you're wondering why Cydia is called Cydia, the name has actually been taken from Cydia pomonella which is the scientific name of "codding moth" or in layman terms, the Apple worm.
