Rooting

What is rooting a phone?
What benefits do i get out of rooting my phone.
Whats the chance of bricking my phone if i do root it?

Apps

On my ipod i bought a few apps before jailbreaking it and really don't feel like rebuying them is there a way to get them free?

Other stuff

Is there anything else i need to know about a droid and my phone?

Thanks for the advice, sorry I'm such a noob with this area.

Rooting lets you get TOTAL access to your phones files. Most is used to fully customize it. To get free apps get Applanet or use 4shared.com on your phones browser. If you have anymore questions or need a more in depth explanation just quote me.
