Ipod Touch 2g Jailbreak choice : Should it be done or not?

Hi, as you know there are currently alot of questions about jailbreking the ipod touch. Alot of people think that they shouldn't because it will mess up thier ipod and brick it. Others just like thier ipod as it is and trust in apple. Regardless let me tell u that it is impossible to mess up your ipod touch, even if you brick it you can still always restore it anf if anyone tells you otherwise, they seriously dont know what they are talking about. Let me tell you from my personal experience, yes my ipod has bricked on me once and yes i still use it because nothing happened all I had to do is just restore it by putting it into DFU mode (it basically wipes out all the memory of the ipod so its ready to be restored). Before posting the guide for jailbreak let me show you the advantages and disadvantages of Jailbreaking your ipod touch.

ADVANTAGES:

1)
You get to download alot of themes for your ipod touch.
2) You get 'dTunes' which is a 'free itunes' store and allow you to download songs and torrents from various sites.
3) 'Mx Tube' allows you to download youtube videos directly to your ipod.
4) 'Searcher' allows you to search through you whole device with one tap.
5) 'Installer' app allows you to install different apps made by various people for various needs on your ipod.
6) 'Installous' allows you to apps on the itunes store for free (including the paid ones) and various other apps as well
7) Categories allows you to organize your icons in general and with themes and place them as you would want.

DISADVANTAGES:

1)
If you let the charge on your ipod run out it might brick and you will have to restore it (I've only faced this after I installed the cracked or 'free' applications)
2) Itunes Cannot sync without deleting all your free 'apps'
3) Cracked apps used for online purposes such as TapTap revenge lose thier online multiplayer capabilities.
4) Ipod software version 3.0 jailbreak not out yet.


So these are possibly some of the possible advantages and disadvantages there are of jailbreaking it.
