That easy jailbreak is now crashing my fully (and properly) restored iPod.

Oh sure, blame it on the jailbreak.

It depends on your device if its a good idea or not. The newer devices become teathered once jailbroken, meaning whenever you turn it off, you have to run the jailbreak proscess again.
Not worth it (for me).

If you have an older one (without speakers built in as far as I know) you should be fine.
It does void your warrenty, but that little restore button in iTunes doubles for a warrenty restorer.
Software can always be fixed, its rediculously hard to brick your device now-a-days anyway.

I used blackra1n on my ipodtouch2g and it was the fastest and easiest jailbreak I've ever done.

It worked fine until I jailbroke it.

I'm not saying jailbreaking is bad, I'm just saying what happening with mine.

you can just reformat your iphone or itouch for you to bring back the warranty.. jailbreaking will help you install many apps from cydia and winterboard.

Pros:
-Almost anything is possible in terms of developing an application.
-Free apps (best thing in my opinion)
-Emulators (GBA, Snes, PSX, NES)
-You can customize the look of the phone.
-If you aren't that experienced with computers, the process gives you a chance to learn some.
-There are several helpful people that will help you should you come across an issue.

Cons:
-It voids the warranty.
-If something goes wrong, there is a 99% chance that it can be fixed, but there is a chance of your iPhone becoming bricked, or inoperable.
-Apple does not like jailbreaking
-You do need to careful about what you install

Once you jailbroken you can always bring it back to normal by installing a fresh copy and there will be no traces left behind so it's a win win. I suggest using blackr1an because it cracked my iTouch in less than 10 seconds and redsn0w took me around 10-20 minutes.

I used blackra1n but it was a tethered jailbreak so it only worked on my computer It seems safe though.

is there a jail break for the update 3.1.3?
