Note: Before you are able to jailbreak your iPod, you have to downgrade to the 1.1.1 firmware because the new iPods are being shipped with the 1.1.2 firmware already preloaded.
Here is a FAQ for Jailbreaking:
1. What is Jailbreaking the iPod Touch?
A: Jailbreaking the iPod Touch means that you break the protection apple has installed on the iPod and allow for 3rd party programs to be installed on it. (It is similar to unlocking a cell phone)
2. Why do I need 1.11 installed to Jailbreak?
A: The iPod Touch was released with 1.11 and iPod Touch hackers were able to find a vulnerability and use it to jailbreak the iPod Touch. The newest software version 1.12 has not been hacked but the work around is downgrading to 1.11 and then using the old jailbreak method.
3. How Can I Jailbreak my iPod Touch?
A: Once you have 1.11 installed check out our iPod Touch Jailbreak page. There are multiple methods to jailbreak but the current one posted on 12/01 described in this post is currently the easiest solution.
4. Can I installed iPhone Apps on my iPod Touch?
A: Yes, After you have jailbroken your iPod check the iPhone Apps post.
5. Where can I find applications and games for my iPod Touch?
A: You can find iPod Touch Games and applications with a google search or check out ipodtouchgames.com.
6. Will iPhone Applications work on my iPod Touch?
A: Yes.

Do realize that jailbreaking your iPod voids your warranty, especially if something goes wrong and you cannot restore the iPod to factory specs.
