Just realised there was a link on that page (in bold) saying "*UPDATED* 7 of the latest reasons to Jailbreak on 3.1 Firmware" :o

837899 2009-12-09 04:20:00 Nah basically you have to re jailbreak every time you fully turn it off or it runs out of battery. You dont have to reinstall apps or anything.The tethered jailbreak only applies to the 3rd gen iPod Touch, & iPhone 3GS devices that shipped in the last month or so. Everything else will survive reboots just fine.

Note also that the tethered jailbreak is simply a temporary measure pending the release of a full jailbreak that will survive a reboot.

Most likely when the next generation of iphone hardware is released, unless somebody leaks the exploit before then. My understanding is that they have something that works, but are holding off on releasing it until apple commits to shipping the bug in their new hardware - that way they don't have to find yet another hole.

Note that they've done this before, it's not a new approach. Keep an eye on blog.iphone-dev.org and note that comments are often answered, if you can be bothered sifting through the chaff.

837903 2009-12-09 04:55:00 Is it really worth it? I have an Ipod Touch 8GB 3G so it will be tethered anyway. But I really want to know what can you do that you cant do on a non-jail broken ipod.

I know you can put themes and stuff on (doesn't really concern me) and install 3rd party apps, but what sort of apps are there?

(ANd please don't give me an answer like "What CANT you do on a jailbroken ipod")

Isn't the 3g 8GB one exactly the same as the 2g one. I believe that the 32GB and 64GB are actually the 3g ones (eg have the faster processor and other minor features). The 8G one doesn't have those, so is exactly the same as the previous 8GB one.

PS it is not worth jailbreaking , as it becomes very unreliable afterwards, and you lose your warranty.

Yes the 8gb 3g is the old 2g hardware but with the 3.0 software
