    I'm wondering if there is a way to remove some of the default apps from the Ipod Touch? For example, I do not use the YouTube or Weather apps. Is there a way to delete them?

    I don't think there is a way to delete them, as they are just part of the ipod. I have tried to delete some of them that came on the ipod, to no avail. I went through Itunes, under the Ipod part, and I didnt find a way to delete the default apps. Sorry!

    SSH into it and delete the folders, though some will have odd names.

    MobileFinder is great too, but none of this can be done if you have a 2nd gen Touch, as they haven't jailbroken it yet.
