My process of jailbreaking iPod Touch 2nd Generation

Contrary to what most others said, putting .ipa application I compiled using XCode into my iPod Touch is not as straight forward as I expected. In fact, as of now, I only successfully accomplish putting .ipa on my iPod Touch last night, and I already spent 3 hours trying to do that, mostly spent on trying to figure out how it worked.

The jailbreaking part was actually relatively straight forward. I did have problem doing that on my Eee PC 900, but it was fine with my lenovo X60. The next step would be putting .ipa in my iPod. I tried the scheme of putting the .ipa directory under the .../Downloads folder in iPod Touch using iPhoneBrowser (a Windows application that I downloaded from GoogleGear), but couldn't find the iPhone application to load this file that I put in iPod Touch.

Eventaully i did this:

- In Cydia, I added the Hackulo.us channel
- After then I added the AppSync for OS 3.0 application for iPhone

And that's all. Now I can directly load the .ipa into my iPod Touch by double click on the .ipa file on my PC, let it bring up iTune, and then use iTune to sync the application to my iPod Touch.
