Jailbreaking the iPod Touch 1st Gen

First off, Jailbreaking your iOS device (iPhone/iTouch) is LEGAL to do via the Digital Millenium Copyright Act.  So by doing so, this is considered legal "fair use."

I decided to Jailbreak my 1st Gen iTouch since I wasn't really using it anymore after getting my 2nd Gen, and later my 4th Gen.

Here's some steps in which I did to achieve this:
1.  Researched on how to Jailbreak the iPhone/iTouch from many websites.  Didn't want the hassle, so figured I'd try the jailbreakme.com site.  This proved to be the easiest process for me.  This was easy, because supposedly, you would just go to the website and the rest would be done automatically.
2.  Went to the Jailbreak.me site and found out that my device firmware was too old to do this process. 
3.  Upgraded my iOS 2.1 to iOS 3.2.  After doing so, and going back to the website, I was able to Jailbreak the device.  Thus, your device must be running at least iOS 3.0.
You follow prompts and it took less than 30 minutes to do the entire process.

Check out one of the videos that I've watched that illustrates how simple this is:
