its a software patch that allows for another app store on the ipad. this app store has the ability to theme your ipad (skin, change UI sounds, colors, facets, etc) add apps not approved for the app store, add additional functionality like blocking restricted numbers, enabling tethering without switching data plans, wifi tethering, 6 rows in the springboard, additional touch gestures, texting from your lock screen, data toggles, unrestricting which iphone has gamecenter, multitasking, HDR, umm, i could go on. if you ant more reasons, personal ones, i'll continue, otherwise, hope this helps.

"The instinct of nearly all societies is to lock up anybody who is truly free. First, society begins by trying to beat you up. If this fails, they try to poison you. If this fails too, they finish by loading honors on your head." - Jean Cocteau (1889-1963)
