Can the 2G Ipod Touch be jailbroken yet?

Please PM me if you can't post here.

I'm on windows machine running Win XP.

Thanks

Yeah but it's in beta, I'd advise waiting a week or so for a finalized version.

Edit: That was a fast week:

Edit 2: Not for the 2G Touch yet, nevermind.

But nothing for the windows side of installing this?

Side note how do I make or find my IPSW bundle? I checked where people have said to but folder does not exist, thanks.

Well there's a note on the dev page:

"This does not address the new iPod Touch 2G device released this week. Partly because none of us even have one yet "

So it look like we're all still waiting for a 2G tool. The IPSW file is basically the firmware on your iPod Touch. PwnageTool extracts that firmware, modifies it, and then you use iTunes to restore it like you would a regular firmware upgrade. Except it's modified. So just wait a week or two for someone on their team to get a 2G and hack it

The 2G isn't something that will be immediately broken. All of the previous iPhone platform products have used the same processor with the same GID encryption key, the S5L8900. The iPod Touch 2G uses a S5L8720 with a different, unknown GID. It is not currently possible to decrypt the 2G firmware, which means it's not even possible to begin trying to jailbreak it. Someone is first going to have to find a security exploit on the 2G (probably at an OS level) so that they can make a 2G decrypt the firmware and spit back out the decrypted product, at which point firmware analysis can begin and vectors for modified firmware jailbreaking (i.e. "pwn") can identified.

Don't get me wrong I like the new app store and it has a lot of free stuff. I'm not even 100% sure there is anything in the homebrew camp I would like since this is my first Ipod since the 2/3G shuffle was released.
