A few weeks ago I violated the Apple iPod Touch/OS EULA and jailbreak’d my iPod Touch.  The process for doing this varies mostly on whether you have a first generation or second generation iPod touch, thankfully I have the first generation and can use a great tool, QuickPWN.  Basically, this tool makes you plug-in your iPod, figures out what version it is, finds a copy of the iPod software (either on your hard drive from iTunes or from Apple’s servers), modifies it to be a jailbreak install, then installs it on your iPod.  This whole process took me about five minutes start to finish.  There are many great applications and abilities you inherit from jailbreaking including the ability to background an application (which is great for internet radio, like TWiT.am).

I stand behind this application and can only say that I’ve had a good experience, I do realize that this is a somewhat geeky thing to do and may cause issues with your computer or iPod (software only issues).  I have never had an issue with this on Mac OS X or on Windows (however the process is a little more involved for Windows).

Get this for free from QuickPWN.com.

**To do this it is recommended that you first restore the iPod to factory settings via iTunes, then disable the option Open iTunes when iPod is connected.
