I just got the 8gb iPod touch 2g. Is it worth jailbreaking? And how can I do it? Also any apps I should get?

You cant as far as i know, theres no jailbreaks for the second gen itouch which sucks. Their making one now, but you need a mac to do it.


Edit: Acctually ive just checked the site and it seems like theres a windows version too!

Well I believe there is a jailbreak for it. And it is really worth breaking it.

Or I must be dreaming that my 2gen iTouch 32gb can download the apps and stuff

A good site to check is > http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/

* And I used Quickfreedom to jailbreak my iTouch, Its faster easier and just seems better than the dos code breakers. My brother tried that the other day for his and it wouldnt work on his (iTouch 16gb 2gen) *

I didnt say there wasnt a jailbreak for it, but originally they only had a jailbreak that can only be used on macs. But last night i checked the site and they have a linux and windows version.
So now i have a beautifully broken ipod And a gba and psx emulator, and a couple of things to make the ipod generally look nicer

Also ipodtouchfans is a great place to sign up on! Has a few guides to setting up ssh and such things.

Jailbreaking is a very worth wile decision. Especially with the second gen. iPod Touch, you can load it with Siphone and use your iPod as a fully working phone (provided that you already have a sip-voip provider of some sort). I would highly recommend you try it out, and if something goes wrong or you want to revert, all you have to do is click the restore button in iTunes


Just a side note here, its not called the iNano, iShuffle, iClassic, nor the iTouch. And whenever you call it an iTouch, this is what your actually talking about: http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/imgcache/4474.png

This siphone thing sounds good, although im guessing its just going to be like skype or truphone? You can ring people but you need to have credit in your account, and you also need to be near wifi?

And true, but itouch is easier to say, although after browsing the ipodtouchfans forum last night it seems that iPoT is the shortest way to talk about the ipod touch

You should check the video n youtube. Lockergnome made a perfect video about that. "Yes or no" style - watch the video and listen to the facts. Just search youtube with "lockergnome jailbreak" or something like that.

Edit: Here u go.

Yes, you need to be in wifi to use siphone......

Ahah thats a bit ghay then :/ I may as well just carry on using truphone and skype. As i dont really know about voip supplier people, and i wouldnt know where to go to get a decent account with the right people :/

Hmmm thats a good point, but iPod Touch is just too long :| haha

No i meant i know that it needs wifi (looking back at where i decided to cut your quote down it looks like i didnt know that). But what i meant is that siphone isnt anything special for skype or truphone, still pretty much the same, thats why "aww ghay" lol, sorry.

If you need to know about jailbreaking, I'm the guy to call, I've jailbroken my iPhone, iPod touch, and others iPod touches too many times to call

</imawesome>

But yes, jailbreak it for the love of god, it adds 300% more fun to the iPod, including skins (which is a big one), and ROMS, which are quite fun too!

I am also active at iPodtouchFans.com being the 2,094th member out of about 345,000, so I can say I'm an early bird there

They now have skype straight from the AppStore for the iPod touch, so get that if you want to call

As for jailbreaking, use Redsn0w.com
