I guess the only damage you could do is decrease the number of remaining re-writes to the solid-state drive. They can only be written to a certain number of times, but I wouldn't worry about it. I've restored my iPod touch countless times and it's still working fine. Most of the time I had to re-write 14GB of music back onto it too!

My advise? Don't worry... Restore whenever you want.

Not sure, but I did three JB on my 3G iPhone, to test the ability to restore/DFU mode and using the USB hub. No problem with 2.2.1 firmware whatsoever. These aren't scientific tests by any means, but I'm comfortable with the results...

Flash drives are solid state drives. There's no spinning parts... therefore, solid-state. That's all I meant by that.
