RE: I have a question, Mac or PC?

So my phone provider that made a big deal of saying they are launching iPhones announced, 4 days before launch, that my province is excluded from this launch. THANKS.
I went out and bought a 32GB iPod Touch. I'm liking it so far. Any recommended apps?

MonkeyBall is pretty fun. Most of my apps are of the "hacked" variety since I jailbroke my iPod.

I'm considering that, but I haven't really looked into it.
What are the cons? Can I irrepairable screw up my iPod? Does it work the same with iTunes?

There aren't any cons as far as I can see. The app store still works, you can still connect your iPod to iTunes, etc. Most hack apps let you make a backup of the current iPod firmware so you can revert at any time.
All the hack does is install a new app manager, which lets applications access actual system controls, so you can have proper preferences, a terminal, and the ability to customize the look of the iPod.
