The iFile application for the iPhone and iPod Touch is available only on jailbroken devices. The third-party app is an alternative type of file browser; instead of navigating files from a computer, you can access the files from the device. iFile exposes system files so you can edit them easily. No file is off limits and this includes apps and games you've already installed.
