How to hack your iPod Touch with a jailbreak




As amazing as Apple's iPod Touch is, the applications that come pre-installed on it are a bit boring. After all, man (and woman) cannot live with just Safari and Contacts alone.

That's why I went through a grueling 70-something step process to jailbreak my iPod Touch last week, which allowed me to install a set of iPhone applications as well as a bunch of third-party apps. Now, my iTouch is insanely handy. I run the iPhone's Mail program, which syncs flawlessly with Gmail, and I regularly use Weather, Google Maps, Finder, and a cool app called SendSong which lets me e-mail any song from my iPod's library to anyone in the world. My iPod Touch is now .... useful.

The good news is people wishing to set their iPod Touch free with a jailbreak no longer have to endure tons of overly technical steps and SSH into the iPod's firmware. iJailbreak let's anyone use a one-click GUI to unleash the jailbreak on either a Mac or Windows platform. The program uses a .TIFF vulnerability found in iTouch's firmware, and breaks it wide open for you, allowing you full access to the OS.
