Ipod touch: Jailbreak or 2.0?

I have had my ipod touch for a couple weeks now with the 2.0 update/app store on it and I think its pretty slick. I never got a chance to jailbreak it before though and I'm wondering if its worth it to still do or if I should just stick with the 2.0 update (are people still making apps for jailbroken ipods)?

jailbreaking is alive and well. a 2.0 JB was released a while ago but its very hard for any one not experienced with jailbreaking. stick with 2.0 for now until there is a release of the next ziphone/iliberty

my friend who works at the apple store was able to get me the app store application without having to jailbreak my ipod or actually buy the app store.

I havent heard of that, so basically you can get anything from the apps store for free?
i just feel there is so many great things to do with a jailbroken ipod, sure the app store sounds good and they have alot of god stuff but all the free stuff is mostly up for jailbroken ipod

Right now I have 2.0, mainly because its stable and a lot of the apps are better than you get from jail breaking. I jail broke 1.1.4 before the app store came out, but I haven't tried 2.0 yet. I think until 2.0 jb becomes more developed I'll stick with the normal version.

I think I might give the 1.1.4 jailbreak a try soon...part of me is saying, "could be fun".

no no, the app store was free and all the applications that are free i get for free but the one that i have to pay for, i still have to pay for
so pretty much im a cheap bitch and didnt wanna pay 10 bucks to get 2.0 and i got that for free

I updated mine to the 2.0 software a few days ago. There are alot of really good free applications, but the better ones you have to pay more for.
For the free ones, I use the Remote application alot, which allows you to control iTunes on your computer via wireless anywhere in your house. The Pandora Radio is pretty good, i had an account setup on my computer a while back that i hardly ever used, but on the itouch it works really well. I'd also suggest one of the marbles games, Tap tap revolution, and a drawing game.

2.0 jailbreak is a a must. I updated my touch to 2.0 about a month ago and jailbroke it using winpwn a week later. its so sweet. Instead of that gay blank background ive got a pic of dumont, and ive installed a bunch of games, like mario and zelda. its totally worth it, let me know if u wanna know more.

Ok i figured out the SSH shit and now I have a bunch of working NES roms on my iPod touch (WOO!).
I wanted to put a custom browser theme on my ipod (WoodenREALIZE) and I downloaded the app Customize to do that and it never applies the background when i click apply....any ideas why?
