The Dev Team has, quite quickly, “recycled” redsn0w version .8 to jailbreak the new 3.0.1 OS update.

How to correctly update:

Let iTunes update or restore you to the official 3.0.1
Run RedSn0w
RedSn0w will ask you to identify the IPSW used.
MAKE SURE YOU SELECT THE 3.0 IPSW AND NOT THE 3.0.1.!!
After the JB reinstall ultrasnow .9 for the unlock.

Done,

Good Job Dev Team

So, after a very brief wait and some impressive work by the iPhone Dev team, the 2G 3.0 Jailbreak has arrived. RedSn0w 0.7 can be used for the iPhone 3G, iPod Touch 2G, and the iPod Touch 1G.

So, just click here for the RedSn0w download!!
(Available for both Mac and PC)

Brief Instructions

(I’m currently in Germany and away from my current computer and iPod and can therefore only provide a cursory tutorial)

• Download the 3.0 ipsw either from iTunes for $9.95 or find a torrent online for free. I would recommend just purchasing the firmware for a secure download.
• Restore your iPod normally without updating. This will allow for a clean install and a safer upgrade.
• Then follow the basic instructions in redsn0w. Depending on how many people have trouble with redn0w will determine if I make a more formal tutorial.
• Good Luck

As most of you already know, Apple will be releasing the new iPhone and iPod Touch OS this summer, 3.0!! It is amazing! With hundreds of additional adjustments and new add-ons, Apple will only fortify its already solid position as the owner of the worlds best hand-held operating system.  The new SDK will allow for enormous strides to be made in the App world (including P2P)!

However, do not succumb to “Itchy Update Fingers” as The Dev Team terms it.  What they mean is not to update the second it is released. It will be free to all 3G owners and will cost iPod Touch Owners another $9.99 or so.  Although they are easily Jailbreakable, make sure you acquire the necessary update first.

Details:

Wait for a PwnageTool release that creates a custom IPSW that avoids the baseband update that 3.0 will try to force upon your device.
