[SOLVED] Jailbreaking iPod Touch?

What is jailbreaking an iPod touch and what would I benefit from doing it. What are the risks of jailbreaking an iPod and how do I do it?
Answer #1
If your iPod is jailbroken, you can install cracked apps (applications that have not been ‘approved’ by apple), themes and other features that apple don’t install themselves. For example, the new 3.0 firmware has copy and paste, it was released to the jailbroken community months ago – meaning that everyone who had a jailbroken iPod/iPhone already had it.
The risks are tiny, if anything goes wrong, you can just restore your iPod – there will be no record of jailbreaking it.
There are plenty of tutorials and websites about it – google is definitely your friend on this one

Quite easy:
Update it to 3.0 (find the original ipod touch 3.0 firmware here in the mac section, do not use a ‘pwnd’ firware, it’s harder) by holding shift and clicking restore in iTunes.
Download redsn0w from here: http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/126908912/redsn0w-in-june
Drag the ipod 3.0 firmware on the redsn0w.exe file. Follow the instructions

Before you actually jailbreak it with the 3.0 firmware you need to install the plain 3.0 firmware first!
so
1)find a free touch 3.0 firmware online or pay the $10
2)do a restore shift+click find 3.0 firmware location and let it update
3)THEN you are going to jailbreak it with the 3.0 firmware
*you need itunes 8.2
