The interface is great and the wifi is also really good... the cost doesnt bother me plus i get my staff discount anyways ;)

I first installed the jailbreak software from http://jailbreakme.com/
You surf to the above URL on the ipod touch and install the software that it on that site. This only works with version 1.1.1 of the ipod touch software.

Once installed you get an installer application on the ipod, through this you can install loads of different apps. I have SSH, Preview, Text Edit, Summerboard (themes), application launcher, finder, RSS reader and a game called lights on.

You can install loads of things including web servers, games all sorts really.

If you are running Version 1.1.2 software on the ipod you have to manually downgrade the software to V1.1.1, hack the ipod, install an app called OktoPrep, upgrade to V1.1.2 again through itunes, download an installer from http://conceitedsoftware.com/iphone/site/

I have the links for other info on my mac. I will post it later on.

I have taken the hacked software off my ipod when I was messing about with it trying to upgrade it. I did this by doing a restore in itunes which wipes all your music etc and puts the ipod back to factory settings. It is now hacked again though :)

This worked for me, but I wouldn't like to be held responsible for it going wrong.........so if you decide to proceed with the hack you take your chances I suppose. Plus when apple release any updates for now I would do a full restore to get rid of the hacks before upgrading, unless you want an expensive paper weight.
