Don’t worry. I did it.

Now I don’t know how to do the try-before-you-buy thing. Which app do I need? Where do I get it?

Who can tell me? Please.

Hi.

Who knows how to jailbreak an ipod touch 2.2.1?

Because the other day I tried to do it and got some programs but I ended up crashing my boyfriend’s computer.

So if anyone can tell me the correct way to do it… Please.

Can’t you just run from cracked app from the Stash folder, which is where all your non-App Store apps run from? I don’t see why you would to sync through iTunes. I haven’t tried downloading cracked apps, but I don’t see why they wouldn’t run that way. All you would need to do is download an SFTP client and transfer the cracked apps into the proper folder, respring, and it would be on Springboard.

Yes, but I find it to be a lot easier to just drag and drop the app into iTunes rather than SSH'ing into the iPhone all the time.

No jailbreak for me. I don’t want to steal apps, even for try-before-you-buy purposes. I do agree though that Apple has got to figure out a trial system.

For me I'm buying more apps now than I ever did before. Particularly games that I'm always unsure about purchasing. So it is really benefiting the developers.

Wait, can you still run App Store apps? I thought you couldn’t…

You sure can.

dumb question… what does it break? can i still use my regular service, sync email, sync music, etc? does it simply remove restrictions?

Just removes the restrictions. I haven't found anything that doesn't work because of jailbreaking.

Pieter, you dont have to steal apps

you will get so much more out your your iphone, nice silent camera, own themes and stuff..but maybe the most useful is the “toggles”, and with sbsettings, you can turn on/off 3g and wifi etc within one second from inside any app. and new years eve you can lockup the phone (using the operator you want)
