Here is a quick guide on Jailbreaking an iPod touch. I personally recommend just capping it at 1.1.3 until 2.0 comes out with full SDK support. You get all the vibrating icons, and movable icons, and still get to install the ‘unofficial’ official iPod touch applications (eg. Mail, Weather, Stock, and RSS).
Jailbroken Touch 
- Firstly, if you already upgraded to the official 1.1.3, downgrade to 1.1.1 and navigate to jailbreakme.com to jailbreak your iPod using the TIFF exploit.
- Then, add http://ijailbreak.com/repo.plist to your Installer.app Sources.
- Now, a crucial step before you run the Jailbreak. Go to Settings->General, and disable Auto-Lock. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL
- Launch Installer and you should find a new version of Installer is available (refresh your Sources otherwise.) Install the Update. Be sure to follow its instructions.
- You will also update the “Community Sources” package. If not, go and install the it; it’s under the “Sources” category.
- Now you want to install the “BSD Subsystem” package. You can find it under the “System” category. After installing it, you must reboot your iPod touch by holding down the Power button until the Red Slider appear, otherwise iJailbreak.app will not work.
- Go to the “iJailBreakMobile” category and select either the “iJailBreakMobile 1.1.1″ or the “iJailBreakMobile 1.1.2″ (depending on your current iPod touch’s firmware version) package to install. After installation, you will find a new app by the name iJailbreak
- Tap on iJailbreak on your mail screen. If you see that it’s stuck with just a spinning wheel on the screen, it’s safe to manually reboot the device. But you want to do so after at least 45 minutes since you started.
- Launch Installer and install the “Remove 1.1.3 Upgrade Data” package. It’s in the “iJailBreakMobile”. You can Uninstall it after it’s done.
- You are done! Install your third party apps without having to pay!
