If you're going to install a jailbroken 3.0 OS on the iPhone/iPod Touch, remember to first install the vanilla version. If you have the .ipsw for it from another one of your machines, place it in "~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/".
Once the device has been upgraded to vanilla 3.0, you can upgrade it to the jailbroken 3.0 with redsn0w.

Jailbreaking
Having recently purchased an iPod Touch 2g, I figured I'd go ahead an jailbreak it. Being on a mac, that was a little bit more difficult than normal, particularly since I was running the 2.2 firmware. But following the steps here I managed to get that done all right. Some particular notes:
* The rslite tool didn't recognize my macports copy of libusb - I had to make a symlink for the required file.
* I also found that I did not need to run DFU mode on my macbook running OSX 10.5.6. This was odd, but probably just a side-effect of me running other development tools. I'm not going to count this gift horse's teeth.
One thing I'm still peeved about is the weak antenna on the Touch, it would be nice to have a way to boost its power, particularly when dealing with medium-range networks.
