When you are on the move it is always practical to have a gaming device at hand. You never know when you’re going to end up stuck in traffic, stuck in a line, or stuck in an elevator for days on end. However getting some decent games on a pre historic cellphone is pretty much impossible unless you happen to have a PSP strung around your neck. That doesn’t make you very popular with the ladies. However there are free games that you can download for your ipod.
These games were mainly designed to be downloaded from the iTunes store could help you kill that some time and although gaming sounds highly impractical with a scroll click wheel and a center button, they’re great fun.
However, paying for these games gets old quick. Especially because you’re paying 5 bucks (or 5 Euros). for games you’ve played in your browser a few years ago, like Tetris and music quizzes.

The folks at Dev-Team have released a software patch for the iPod 2G Touch having the codename 24kPwn which allows you to perform an untethered jailbreak on the ipod 2G Touch . The term untethered means your iPod 2G Touch won’t need to jailbreak your iPod 2G Touch every time you reboot. This patch will always make your iPod 2G Touch susceptible to jailbreak no matter what version of firmware Apple releases. Originally the Dev-Team were not planning on releasing this exploit until Apple released the next version of the iPhone. That way Apple wouldn’t be able to patch it, however, they were required to release it early since another company found this exploit somehow and began selling it. Read the rest of this entry »
