Is is worth to jailbreak my iPod Touch 2nd gen NOW?

[D.Sync]

As topic, I had spent over $200 right now for those app and I think I can't spent my cash on those app anymore.

Think it's now the right time to jailbreak my iPod Touch 2nd gen? Eager to get those themes.

Will I have any complicated issues then?

u should do it theres alot of things u can do once u free ur ipod..
and no putting themes will be easy...but u need to know how the processworks for cydia...if ur interested in jailbreaking this is wat i recommend

But what if I'm on version 3.0 now?

Reading into both the Dev Team's efforts and Cydia's followed mainstay apps, I'd wait to jailbreak 3.0. redsn0w and ultrasn0w are about it at the moment and not to say they aren't effective, and I know pwnagetool and quickpwn are the favored methods for the iTouch. Nothing serious happening as far as compatibility with the iPhone unlockers, but in my opinion, if you want all the goodies that are features for the iTouch, I'd wait for quickpwn. should be out by weeks end.

I'm kinda new to these jailbreaking things. So far I just know the name, redsnow, quickpwn, ultrasnow but didnt know the differences between them. What's cyndia anyway?

BTW is there a way to unjailbreak the iPod once I jailbreak it? Heard something about bricking issue which I wonder how does it happen.

I bricked mine yesterday. It stayed on the bootup screen for hours and then just turned off. All you have to do is put it in DFU mode and recover your device. It's a pain but you're safe from bricking.

Just stumbled across IPF forum and found this tutorial: http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/...d.php?t=203161.

Wonder will I have any complication while installing it? Need advice in real time.

Some are geared more toward the iphone, others are made for the itouch. They tend to be cross compatible most of the time from my understanding, but I'm no expert either as I don't jailbreak, I just read into the trends. Cydia is an app distribution program that allows you to install apps that did not or are not allowed in the app store. Many legitimate apps use Cydia to distribute their software, generally to modify the iphone/itouch devices in allowing them more features, functions and flexibility.

The only method I'm aware of to "unjailbreak" your device is to do a full firmware restore in itunes. I'm sure there's other methods that I am unaware of.

As you can see, D.Sync, your going to get varied methods, results and opinions on what causes bricking.
