I just saw a post on Digg about jailbreaking iPod touch version 2.2, but in the comments someone said this was only possible if you have the generation 1 iPod. So still not possible on the gen 2 ipod touch. Anyone know more about this?
Apple locks their software and does not allow modification. Jailbreaking unlocks it so people can write their own apps and get around Apples rules. It was a big deal before the app store because it allowed people to put apps on the ipod when you couldn't otherwise.
