Although Software update 3.1 is really nice and sparkly, I would advise against the update (but don’t freak out if you have because who knows how long it will take for the dev team to release more comprehensive news concerning the iPod Touch Hack in specific). Here are a few words from the Dev Team:

If you update to Apple’s new software using the normal iTunes process, you will lose your ultrasn0w unlock.  In fact you may lose it permanently, because for most people the baseband firmware cannot be reverted to a previous version (unlike the main application CPU firmware).

But don’t worry…our PwnageTool program — when it’s updated for 3.1 — will let you update your main firmware without touching your baseband firmware, so you can still have the best of both worlds.  But you must be diligent about saying “no” to your iTunes request this week to update your firmware.

Update: We’re currently working on PwnageTool for 3.1, and will be sure to let you know when it’s available!

So for iPhone users – Definitely do not update

for iPod users – ehhh, it would not be the end of the world.

   please tell me how to download jail break on ipod touch

   FYI, pwnagetool is already out; though it provides support only for Ipod Touch 1G, and the older iphones. And for quite a few days already, kind of surprised nothing was posted about it.

   >Nick: Jailbreak isn’t a download but rather a process. It depends on what ipod touch you are using. 1G, 2G or 3G? Currently, the new 3.1 firmware jailbreak is only for the ipod 1G, no support for 2 and 3G yet, from what the dev team blog says. The only support you can get for 2G jailbreak is for the older version of 3.0, though i would recommend you wait for the 3.1 JB for ipod touch 2G and above, as the support for itunes (arranging apps) is quite useful.
