After looking through the comments on the iPhone 3.0.1 jailbreak and unlock post, it looks like many people appear to be having a problem where 
the redsn0w program is stuck on the “Waiting for Reboot” screen.
Here is a fix for this:
Thanks to dococ for the tip!
I know many of you here are anxiously waiting for an iPhone 3.0 jailbreak! Firstly, have you updated to iPhone OS 3.0? If you haven’t already, launch iTunes and click “Check for Update” to update to the latest iPhone 3.0 release. iPod Touch users will need to pay $9.95 for this update, if you’re already on iPod Touch 2.2.1 though you can download it without having to pay the $9.95 fee.
The Dev Team recently released redsn0w, at first I was not going to post it here because a lot of users have e-mailed me saying that redsn0w had bugs and it kept crashing for them. I just tried it on both Mac and PC and experienced no problem. As of right now redsn0w only works with iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPod Touch 1G, and iPod Touch 2G. You can jailbreak iPhone 3GS, however a jailbreak for it has not been released yet!
iPhone 3G users: iPhone 3G users, you can unlock your iPhone 3G 3.0 using ultrasn0w. ultrasn0w is Dev Team’s new unlock for iPhone 3.0. Remember, don’t update to future iPhone 3.0 updates without checking here first if you want to keep your 3G unlock, Apple may permanently block this unlock in their next update.

1. Is it possible to jailbreak the iPod Touch 2G?
Yes it is possible but the jailbreak has not yet been released. The iPhone Dev Team is working on automating the jailbreak. The jailbreak is codenamed redsn0w. Once the iPhone Dev Team has figured out how to automate the jailbreak they will release it.
2. When will the iPod Touch 2G jailbreak be released?
There is no estimated time. The official place to check for updates is the iPhone Dev Team blog at http://blog.iphone-dev.org. Join our iPod Touch forums while you’re waiting for the jailbreak to be released.
3. I saw someone on YouTube with a jailbroken iPod Touch 2G, is it real?
No, it’s a fake! People have too much time on their hands and they like to fool others. Don’t believe the YouTube videos and comments, they’re all fake. Only trust the iPhone Dev Team blog.
