    It's not official, Apple don't consider it when doing any updates and as such could potentially screw things up.

    I've jailbroken mine, and from what I've read it can't really be bricked as iTunes has the ability to restore it to factory condition unlike the iPhone.

    As for apple bricking it, either don't update it or restore it before you do.

    for the easiest method just have a look at touchfree install it and its all very straight forward and easy popup boxes on screen telling you what to do takes 15 - 20 mins max to do

    if u need help doin it PM me and I'll do my best to answer any questions you cant really discuss on here

    I reckon the easiest method would be to use jailbreakme.com - which does it all from the comfort of the Touch, no need to have it connected to the PC, just wi-fi and you're away.

    Impressively, it also fixes the Safari exploit it uses.
