Now I’m sorry that there are no updates on the 2G Jailbreak but the situations remains, as Dev-Team Blog says: 

iPod Touch 2G (New iPod Touch)

Sorry, no support at this time, but Redsn0w is being actively researched and developed.

 

I did this a while back and thought it was about time to give it another run.  Here is a list of my Apps for my 2G iPod Touch and the reason I have them.  Here they are:

iEphemeris Lite – Now, this app most of you will find absolutely no use for. . . it shows you the different moon cycles.  But for photographers like me its perfect.

Facebook – A must have for all those who have a facebook.

SnatchTest – A cool app that allows you to use your iPod Touch as a mouse pad for your PC or laptop.

MagicPad – An app similar to “Notes”. But it also has cut and paste options. Works nice for To Do lists.

Discover – This app allows you to transfer videos, music, and such to your iPod via wireless Internet. Used when you don’t feel like syncing.

Google – Links you to all the Google apps available for your iPod Touch.

Eureka - Kina cool, just like a wiki search app.

iTranslate – A translator app . . . what else.

STAT ICD-9 / Conversions / Cambio -all conversion apps that come handy every now and then.

Last.fm / Pandora – Music apps.

i.TV / Flixster – Movie information and tv channel information.

WiFinder – Hooks you up to any WiFi in the area that is not password protected.

Remote – Lets you control your iTunes through your iPod.

Night Stand - If you have a dock or charger this is a cool clock.

Fake-A-Call – An app that allows your iPod to act as an iPhone. . . but only for the wildly oblivious.

PocketDyno – an app that measures your horse power, acceleration, speed, etc. of you car while driving. Not super accurate but pretty interesting nonetheless.

Seadragon – probably the only cool thing Microsoft has released for the App store. Check it out.

IQTest – does just that.

Zippo Lighter – Nice for concerts.

tChess Pro – the only expensive item on my iPod Touch. A really sweet Chess App.

Sudoku 101 – this Sudoku app allows you to use Chinese characters.

TapDefense - Line wars! A sweet game!

Cube – A fun single player shoot ‘em up game. Takes time to get used to though.

LightBike – Fun multiplayer game.

BeerPong – actually not that bad.

 

These are some of the apps I have found interesting. What are yours?

So, as rAwks already announced, the Dev team has done it, they have jailbroken the iPod Touch 2G!!

But, it’s not quit ready for the public yet.  They have found away around Apple’s signature checks (by using their patch Red Sn0w) and can jb it. The only issue is that they must do this before every boot. This problem seems quit minor in the grand scheme of things and will most likely be fixed soon.  I would think that they would just need to down a program that can boot the patch automatically.
