Jailbreak your iPod Touch or iPhone 2.0

THe iPhone 2.0 software has just recently come out, and for those of you on macs, it is extremely easy to jailbreak your device because pwnage tool 2.0 came out a while back. What I am going to do is explain how to easily Jailbreak your device on a windows computer.
First, you will need a couple things.
1) Winpwn (winpwn.com)
2) ipod/iphone 2.0 software (google this, I cannot provide a link)

Once you have those two things, you will need to open winpwn, and click "build ispw".

This is where it gets a little tricky. If you have an iPod, then continue reading. If you have an iPhone, then I will refer you to iClarified for their guide on iPhones.

So, if you have come this far, then you have an iPod Touch, the new ipod firmware, winpwn 2.0.x, and you have clicked ispw builder.
Now select the firmware file, and check install cydia.
Now click build ispw on the bottom left.
After a little while, your new ispw will be finished, and you can now click iPwner.
Select the file you just created with ispw builder, and it will pwn itunes to accept custom firmware.
Now place your ipod in DFU mode. If you dont know how to do this, then follow these instructions, otherwise skip the next step.

To enter DFU: Make sure your ipod is on. Now hold both sleep and home for exactly 10 seconds. Then, let go of sleep and continue holding home until itunes says it found your device and it must be restored. Your iPod screen should be completely black. If it shows a connect to itunes logo on its screen then you are in restore mode... not DFU.

Now click ok in iTunes and then shift+click Restore. Then select your new custom firmware file... and wait about 15 minutes.
You now have a shiny new ipod touch with cydia!

Who is on the site?

It's been a while

I've been pretty busy recently, I'm actually at a private college right now, and I havent had any time to post... especially while all of this iphone/ipod touch stuff is going on. For those of you who feel left out of the loop on the iphone and itouch jailbreaking and stuff... dont worry. I will be posting more about it asap. If you cant wait long enough for me to tell you how to jailbreak 2.0 on windows or even mac, then just post here and Ill respond back to your question.
I'm just going to say 2 things before I have to go.
Number one... I have a few sites that I check daily for news about cool tech stuff, and I thought I would share them all with you guys.
1. on10.net is a great microsoft info site
2. lifehacker.com is basically a bunch of posts about new, cool things you can do in todays world.
3. ipodtouchfans.com is the BEST ipod touch website
4. winpwn.com is the best source for jailbreaking your ipod/iphone

The second thing I will say will be in the next post. It is a map that shows people currently on your website.

The Tech Life

In the past week or so I have found some absolutely incredible applications and programs that I garentee you I will use (and you should as well) for the next few years. Im just going to list them out for you, and then try to explain them, even though words cannot describe their greatness.
1) Windows Live Mesh
2) Orb Live
3) Intelliscreen
4) Trillian Astra

Windows Live Mesh is a new website that is under developement by Microsoft, basically it is a "mesh" of all your devices (PC's, windows mobile phones, Macs). It allows you to syncronize files between your devices, remote desktop your devices, and it even gives you a live desktop (or a cloud) which acts as a 5GB online storage device.

Orb Live is an amazing application that allows you to access all your media, files, and more over the internet. You can also stream Live TV, watch Internet TV, stream Media to your iPod Touch/iPhone, or even watch whats happening at your home computer (via your home webcam). Remember, it lets you do this from anywhere, so long as you have your orb accounts login and password.

Intelliscreen is an application made completely for the iPod Touch and iPhone. This app lets you view weather, ical, sports, news and more all from the lockscreen.

Trillian Astra is by far the best Instant messaging application ever known to man. it has the best user interface (looks the nicest), includes the most useful features, and has the best overall performance.
This app is in private beta/alpha, so it might be a good idea to visit your favorite torrent site in order to obtain it.
