Not the touch but I've had a jailbroken iPhone since iBricker rolled out. It rocks. It's amazing how much more it can do.

I installed it last night. Awesome stuff!
I got some programs working, but could still use a email program and some sort of word or file editor. Maybe a ftp program too. Since I put some webserver lite on it, I wonder if there is a way to ftp to the ipod. Also is there a way to make my ipod wifi act as a server (allow people to connect) then when I go to a friends house who does not have wifi he can connect his laptop to my ipod wifi and see the site.

Just be aware that whenever Apple comes with a new firmware (currently 1.1.2) your add-on software will be erased.

Very true! Fortunately the firmware is quite good now and most of the patches necessary have already been done by the 'open source' community to fix the bugs that are deal-killers. I've got 1.1.1 and dont' anticipate updating for quite some time.

I think 1.1.2 only thing new is the ability to add calender event.

Which there's a patch for on 'installer' that adds this as well. Actually that was out before Apple updated! I swear, I set the iPhone aside when I got it... now that I hacked it I can't live without. The extra software totally makes it.

Good for you that you are still on 1.1.1 ^
I accidentally updated my iPhone to 1.1.2 and right now I'm too laze to downgrade.
I'll, however, have to downgrade mine before my trip to BKK tomorrow as I want to unlock the phone and use local SIM.

Also, I've read somewhere that it is now possible to install iPhone software on iPod Touch?

The downgrade can take a while and several attempts. Make sure you have PLENTY of time. Unless I'm missing something all the software for the iPhone works on the Touch except the phone specific software (Customize, etc... not sure about Summerboard)..
