I accidentally tried to jailbreak my iPod touch 2g 3.0 on iTunes 8.2. While doing this something went wrong and I had to restore it. I had just found out about the whole iTunes 8.2 problem after I tried to jailbreak it. I was just wondering I’ve heard that it break the ability to jailbreak it or something.does that mean I can never jailbreak my iPod again?? Please someone…just a yes or no answer thanks.

What if I accidentally jailbroke it on 8.2 iTunes. There was an error while jailbraking. So I restored my iPod. Doe this mean I can’t ever jailbreak again?

I think all of you should just get a 2.2.1 software jailbreaked because the 3.0 jailbreak will never sync with iTunes.

Wow, it’s quite funny how iphone fans are oblivious to their own idiocy and hypocrisy. They call that pre guy a nerd when they’re the nerds spending hours defending a communication device to death (doing even better than iphone commercials). I have an iphone, and I love it. However, I can’t deny that iphone is full of impracticalities and difficulties that make it only useful for someone who has the time and space to stay online for so long so that they could stay in touch with updates and Dev Team update-related warnings. You can argue all you want that everything has a price, and that getting the features you get with iphone would require such time, effort and money. Yet, given all the other alternatives, that moves iphones to the bottom of the list of what’s practical. What kind of a phone company releases a phone without the ability to transfer files through Bluetooth and MMS? Why do I need to go through the pain of jailbreaking a phone in order to forward a message, when other phones provide that service with the OS software? Did you even consider the pain of having to keep up with all update-related conflicts between Apple software and Dev Team? You have to be full of S* if you sit there and say that’s practical, when you can get almost all the iphone COMMUNICATION features from other phones, without having to go through this pain. If you can put up with this, which I do (because I am a music freak), then good for you. But you can’t sit here and lecture others about their choices when they do point out problems with iphone which ARE THERE. As for apple, I think it’s nothing but a money grabbing organisation whose fall is inevitable. iMacs are S*T, and all other services apple provides (which are amazing, I have to admit) are dictated by regulations and laws that give you no alternative but to pay every penny you have to APPLE AND APPLE ONLY! If you choose not to (through jailbreaking and downloading third party programs to make your iphone usable), then you have to suffer apple’s wrath, as well as keeping up with all software conflicts that might occur. Greedy, arrogant, rip offs, and can do nothing without all the media support and commercials. And our attachment to it is nothing but a reflection of this silly world we’re living in now. Apple will fall, like it has fallen before, unless it changes its policies radically, because a day will come when all consumers get fed up and sick of it. And when that day comes, I can’t deny, I’ll be happy to turn my iphone into to a mere ipod, and start using other practical devices for communication. For now, I’ll enjoy its apps, and let other enjoy alternative choices lol

Well… I just happened to google some info about iTunes 8.2 and came across this site. I scrolled down to the bottom of the page and saw the postings/banter between some idiot who is PRE crazy and others who are feeding the troll. Funny stuff. PALM is trading less than $13/share and Apple is what over $140? LOL….. The PRE is also hooked up with the carrier losing subscribers faster than any time in their history. A match made in heaven,,,, a wannabe iPhone killer and a phone company that sucks. Gotta love it!!!
