Jailbreaking Ipod Touch is save nowadays, and you could always restore it back with iTunes. However, once you are jailbreaking it, you might want to do some research prior to that before actually doing it.
Look for,
- Latest Jailbreak software such as ILiberty, Ziphone (during my time I was using Ziphone 3.0)
- Make sure your Wifi is available at that time.
- Get some FTP software (optional) or download Iphone Browser to connect to your Touch via cable. (You need this to transfer other files format to Touch other than ITunes). Touch does not have disk mode so, yeah it will not appear mounted as a USB drive in explorer.
Ok, looks like if you got all the above, you are all set to go. For Ipod Touch users, best to upgrade it to 1.1.4 firmware via iTunes.
