    Here's a tutorial on how to jailbreak your ipod touch/iphone. I believe this works both with 1st and 2nd gen.
    DO NOT USE IF YOU HAVE THE NEWEST VERSION OF THE IPHONE!

    First off, this jailbreak is for the version 3.0 upgrade ONLY. However, you can get the 3.0 update free. If you do not know if you have the 3.0 version, go into your ipod touch/iphone under Settings>General>Version. If you have the 2.2 version, just DL the 3.0 firmware ( here's a link I googled and used, http://mac.softpedia.com/get/iPhone-Applications/Tools-Utilities/iPhone-Firmware.shtml ) then extract it somewhere easy to find, like your desktop. Next, plug in your itouch/iphone to your pc, and go into your ipod folder (where it says ipod sync, etc.) Hold shift, and click "Restore Ipod." Then go into that file you just downloaded and open it. Now it is upgraded!

    Jailbreaking your ipod touch/iphone.
    Next, to download redsn0w. http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/redsn0w-iphone-3-0-jailbreak/ This is needed to download Cydia.

    Next, the tutorial how to use redsn0w and download Cydia and jailbreaking your ipod touch/iphone. ( I did not use this tutorial, so sorry if it is not a good one.)

    *Cydia may be used for whatever, but as far as I know, it is not illegal to actually have Cydia, just some of the programs on it are illegal.* Also, illegal uses will not be discussed on this thread please, thank you. If you wish to know more or have any questions, PM me.

    I wasn't supposed to talk about Installous or Crackulous, so I didn't mention it. lol
    Also, I originally had this tutorial include the downloading of Installous, but had to remove it.

    I jailbroke my iPod a while back, it really does make it 100 times better.

    Messing around with some new themes, couldn't find any good ones on Cydia lately so I'm using this one :p You can change the background picture to any 320x480 image. I just decided to use CAD because I love it.

    If anyone wants to use this kind of theme I'll link you to a tutorial.
