can i trust this jailbreak?

[joshicus]

the guy seems to know what he's doing...
and its not tethered, he's got videos of using it and stuff and from what i can tell its not plugged in

im really interested in doing this so please let me know if anyone has done it
i dont want to jb until its untethered because i use my 2g touch primarily away from home

Don't ever trust a YouTube video.

1st gen or 2nd gen?

1st gen: just use PwnageTool and be done with it.
2nd gen: read up on redsn0w.

There is a semi-tethered version of redsn0w out. Which means you can jailbreak it and boot it normally. Only when it is booted normally it doesn't behave like a jailbroken iPod Touch, and when it is booted with the code it's a jailbroken iPod Touch!
