iPod Touch 4th Gen "Other" files goes 20+ GB?

I have an iPod Touch 4th Gen 32 GB non-Jailbroken with iOS 5.0.1. Recently checked at iTunes for Usage. I've given a strange result :

From above, the details of the Usage are:

Audio = 191 songs

Video = 1 Video (8 minutes)

Photos = 428 Pictures and 8 Videos ( All are under 10 mins)

Apps = 81 Apps

Other = ?

The question is, What are the "Other" Files? And in what way to reduce that file?

Optional -> My friend has a Jailbroken iPod and has this problem too, how to solve it?

Thanks in Advance

iPod touch, iOS 5.0.1

We do not support jailbroken devices here so we cannot help your friend. He should unjailbreak so he is no longer in violation of the iPod license agreement.

That aside, "Other" should never be more than a GB or two, so it would probably be a good idea to restore your iPod. Try from a backup first, and if that doesn't work, restore to factory settings.
