True story: I finally did it and jailbroken one of my iOS devices. The victim happens to be my faithful first-generation iPad. I did it simply because I wanted to be able to do screencasting on my device.
You see, I have always been a fan of Street Fighter. I downloaded both Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter IV Volt the moment it was released. If you want a fighting game for your iOS device, the Street Fighter series is the one to get.
With the debut of Street Fighter IV Volt, online multiplayer became possible. I’ve spent countless hours before bed playing with people from all over the world. One thing I loved about the game is the ability to save replays of your favorite matches. Some of these replays were epic moments during game play. I hit the maximum amount of 20 replays quickly enough that I find it difficult to let go most of these replays.

chaofan (via iPod touch Fans) posted a very good take on the current iPod touch jailbreaking landscape: there’s no jailbreak for the iPod touch 2G devices, yet.
Instead, he suggests that everyone just go ahead and use the iPod touch, as it is. Play your music, watch your videos. Download a game of two and see what makes the latest iPod touch ‘the funnest iPod ever‘. An iTunes account opens up all the possibilities of the above, for free.
Heck, if you are a workout freak, get the Nike + iPod Sport Kit
and check out your runs!

Just within days after iPhone firmware 2.2 was released, the team at iPhone dev has done it again. They have just released both the PwnageTool and QuickPwn for iPhones and first generation iPod touch devices.
The team further detailed that the 2.2 update also upgraded the baseband. Thus, to achieve a jailbreak and also ensure that future soft-unlock options are available, users would need to use the PwnageTool to create a custom IPSW file that preserves the 2.1 baseband but also installs the software functionality of the 2.2 update.
