Here's a step by step instruction guide on how to jailbreak your iPod touch or iPhone 3rd gen. This will work for 1st and 2nd gen iPods and iPhones too. We will be using Blackra1n for this jailbreak since it is the easiest way. So here we go...
1. First backup all your files in your iPod by syncing it with your computer.
2. Next go to blackra1n.com and download blackra1n to your desktop. (if you use a PC, click the windows logo. If you use a mac click the mac logo.)
3. Now right click on the blackrain icon and select "Run as Administrator". If a prompt comes up just allow it. Blackra1n should open up now.
4. Connect your iPod or iPhone. If iTunes pops up go ahead and close it.
5. Now go to Blackra1n and click on Make it ra1n!.
6. Now it will say entering recovery mode and your iPod will show a guy with iPods around him. It doesn't matter if iTunes opens up now.
7. Then blackra1n will show a message saying that your iPod is jailbroken. Your iPod will keep showing the guys face with a circle animation going on in the bottom. Wait till your iPod reboots. This might take some time.
(IF in any case it does not reboot, either reconnect it or if it still doesn't press the power and the home buttons for 10 seconds.)
8. After your ipod reboots you will see a new app named blackra1n.
9. Open it and install one of Cydia, Icy, or Rock.(Requires an active WiFi connection) I recommend installing Cydia. Never install all three at the same time.
10. Now open Cydia and install the stuff you need. Enjoy!

FOOTNOTES
- If anything goes wrong, go to iTunes and click restore. This will erase all data in your iPod but since we backed up in the beginning it won't be a problem.
- If something goes wrong in your iPod and you want to use the warranty restore it before you hand it over. This will remove all traces of the jailbreak which would have void the warranty.- Don't worry it's untraceable.
