Now if only I could be bothered to update it. I can't be asked to remove OpeniBoot and iDroid. But I do want those 3G performance boosts...
downloading right now

Restrain your emotions young Tuvok!
PON FARR IS TAKING HOLd OF ME
Wow, this looks fantastic
I updated to 4.1 yesterday : / oh well time to update and jailbreak again. I really need those 2nd gen iPod touch speed and battery improvements.

Sorry bud no jailbreak, at least not yet
snip: nope no jailbreak yet, the exploit's there, but the jailbreak itself isn't
Argh, any source on greenpois0n currently working (tethered) with 4.2? I really want to jailbreak.
I wonder why you can't get the text tones and Find My iPhone for 3GS, apple wants us to buy everything again..
Now to wait for an untethered jailbreak.
I'm still on 4.0, I really need to update but god I can't be bothered with iTunes' shit.
Well, they were'nt joking about the enhancement in 3G performance.
It's a crapload faster!
Need an untethered jailbreak, stat.

Oh yeah, well I'm still on 3.1.2.
Might try and get 4.2 though.

Get 4.1. 4.2 has some pretty useless updates, and the only jailbreak available is tethered. Not worth it.
Get 4.2 because it's faster than 4.1.
I heard some apps are more stable on 4.2
Useless unless jailbroken (untethered).
Well, a tethered jailbreak isn't that bad but it certainly does add an extra dimension of inconvenience. Honestly, there's very little benefit of this over 4.1, so it's frankly stupid to upgrade.
The only thing that strikes me as useful is the text search on webpages.
Maybe the performance improvements as well, but since I don't know how much (if at all) these apply to a 3rd gen touch I can't see why I'd upgrade. Still at 4.0 because I can't be bothered to upgrade and lose jailbreak, and as GenericMonk said, 4.2 is tethered and it's inconvenient.
Improved battery life, better networking layer that improves network congestion and improved performance. Tethered is a dealbreaker though. :colbert:
I'm with 4.0 too, can't be bothered to upgrade and re-jailbreak.. Too much of a hassle (I've got a 2nd gen iPod Touch).
3.2.0 -> 4.2.0 was worth it on the ipad (since 4.1 wasn't supported) even without the jailbreak. I finally get folders and multitasking...
Is being tethered really THAT big of a deal? It'll let you reboot into a non-jailbroken iPhone/iPod/iPad as long as you're not using any MobileSubtrate extensions that fuck with Springboard..
I haven't updated yet though. More laziness than anything else.

I don't like tethered because the one time I take no computer on a trip my phone just fucked up (full power, working fine and then crashed) and demanded to be hooked up to iTunes after a reboot. Since then I will never use a tethered JB again.

Not all tethered JB's will allow you to do this and is actually quite uncommon. Most will just present the "Connect to iTunes" screen.

If I remember correctly, MuscleNerd said on his twitter that the current redsn0w jailbreak will let you reboot into a vanilla iPhone as long as there is nothing that fucks with SpringBoard.
