Tips & Warnings
Back up your iPod Touch using iTunes on your computer before jailbreaking. This will allow you to reverse the jailbreak and restore your device to its previous state should you ever wish to do so.
All iOS devices, including the iPhone and iPad, can be jailbroken using this method as long as version 4.3.3 or lower of the iOS operating system is installed.
Updating or restoring the iPod Touch through iTunes will automatically reverse its jailbreak.
Jailbreaking your iPod Touch is legal but voids your Apple warranty.
