I recently upgraded to an iPod Touch 2G and wanted to jailbreak it. I found lots of sites saying you could do it through typing commands into a command line, and although I’m pretty technologically inept, I wanted a solution where as little human error was possible. Then I found Redsn0w.
Redsn0w is an executable file that doesn’t require any other plugins or custom drivers to jailbreak your iPod Touch 2G. My version by the way is 2.2.1 (the latest at the time of writing this post), although the jailbreak method will work with 3.0 coming out anyway.
All I had to do was put my iPod Touch 2G into DFU mode and then run the executable file and it did it’s thing. It took a couple of minutes and it was jailbroken complete with Cydia installed onto your iPod Touch 2G.
I was surprised at the ease of jailbreaking my iPod Touch 2G as opposed to typing into some daunting command line and fucking something up (even though jailbreaking is potentially safe anyway).
If you’re interested in jailbreaking your iPod Touch 2G, here is the link which helped me jailbreak my iPod Touch 2G.

Thanks for sharing the link. This is really the easiest way I’ve found so far to jailbreak an Ipod Touch! This is definitely most useful to the myriad people out there who are still waiting for an easier way to jailbreak their Ipod Touches. Thanks again!
My jailbroken iphone is probably the best piece of electronics I have in my house, I use it for basically everything, but the ipad is supposed to have so many more better apps.
