Over the vacation my firmware on my Ipod touch was 2.2.1 and as I mentioned before with the JB. I was reading about the 3.0 update and the new features that it comes with so I was debating to update or not. Well... I did. I bought the new update (which is not that bad for the price from Apple) and went to work on JB'ing the device again. Boy what a pain in the arse that was!! One thing to remember (from experience) is:

1. Use the .IPSW file that was supplied with your update.

I was trying to get this thing to work for hours! I had redsnow 0.7.2 which ALOT of people were having issues with but FINALLY it worked! Another thing that I noticed is the JB only liked Cydia. Although ICY was listed, everytime I chose to install both on the break, it failed. As soon as I just chose Cydia and it was fine. I did however install ICY after the running pineapple did it's thing. All in all... sweet. I was afraid that I also would lose my online game stats for imafia and the likes because *clears throat*, I am da man... but to my surprise, all my games came back just the way I left them. Another bonus.

With that, I have the cool new 3.0 firmware on my touch AND my data back! Of course I had to re-sign for apps like facebook and etc. but you know what.... I didn't mind. I love this Ipod touch. It "almost" has me wondering what would my life be like with an Iphone but.... I am not THAT curious yet . I will try out the new 3rd party option to connect to Microsoft Exchange and try out the VPN feature as experiments. I still believe that RIM has the most SOLID and dependable handheld out there. My Bold kills the Iphone... well, except the browser.
