Redsnow 2G iPod Touch Beta Jailbreak now Available

It’s still not quite the user-friendly 2G iPod Touch jailbreak many were hoping for, but it’s a good start. The Redsnow 2G iPod Touch beta jailbreak is now available and can be downloaded here for Windows, Linux, and the Mac OS X running systems. Do note though that this is still a beta so expect a few kinks here and there.

If you’re a bit hesitant to use a command line-only interface, I suggest you wait for the iPhone Dev Team to release a GUI interface-based Redsnow for you to try out on your 2G iPod Touch.

UPDATE: The final user-friendly version is out now, and it also works on the iPhone 3G as well. Check it out here.
