Remember, everything else works great, this is just a little bit annoying, but personally i can live with it until somebody come up with a solution.
Here you can see the pop-up that appears every time you unlock your device but it can pop-up at anytime too:

This is how the annoying "No Service" looks like after you modify the plist file to enable Street View on your 1stGen Jailbroken iPod touch. Everything else works GREAT!
Remember guys, this is not going to work perfect like the iPhone but it's fantastic and the weird thing is that adding a little piece of code is the key to activate it and Apple dismiss us, but we got it. Hope you guys enjoy and support my blog. Shout out to timmyj9 for this fabulous hack.

This is a simple way of how to get cracked apps working on your Jailbroken iPod touch 1stGen (2.2 Firmware):
1. Go to Cydia and install xSellize Repo "http://xsellize.com/cydia/
2. Download IPA Prep 2
3. Download a free app from the AppStore over Wi-fi
4. Reboot iPod touch
After this you're gonna be able to install cracked apps and sync them from iTunes. AppShare & Installous does not work. The only method is iTunes.
Enjoy

I got a Jailbroken iPod touch 1stGen with 2.2 firmware and surfing around xSellize i found a thread with some info about activating Street View on the iPod touch 1stGen. I tried the method and believe me, IT WORKS GREAT! Here's a little explanation of how-to & what it does:
1. Close iTunes if is open and SSH for this file: /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/N45AP.plist
2. Go here N45AP.plist and download modified NP45AP file.
3. Backup the original, after that replace with modified version.
4. Close your SSH program and reboot iPod touch 1stGen
All new Maps features work however you get a "Searching For Service" (Replaces the word iPod in the top left corner) and "Waiting For Activation" message that pops up occassionally, just hit "Dismiss"
Hopefully someone can patch the frameworks or springboard which wouldnt require this to be done! Anyway if you're desperate to try it out, thats all that needs to be done theres nothing wrong with stability or anything so you're not going break anything trying this out.

The iPhone Dev-Team has released new versions of QuickPwn and PwnageTool for the 2.2 iPhone firmware.
1. GOLDEN RULE: If you have a 3G iPhone and want potential soft unlock in the near future do NOT use QuickPwn, and do not use the official ipsw or the iTunes update process without using PwnageTool.
2. Read item 1 again and again.
3. At the bottom of this post are the bittorrent files for the latest versions of PwnageTool and QuickPwn.
4. These are suitable for the recent 2.2 release.
5. Please read all parts of this post before downloading and using these tools.
6. The ‘late 2008’ MacBook/air/pro line of computers have an issue with DFU mode, it is possible to go from Pwned 2.1 -> 2.2 but going from stock to Pwned does not work, if in any doubt use a different machine.
7. Choosing the correct tool is crucial. Be warned!
NOTE: ‘Simple Mode’ in PwnageTool currently only works for the iPod Touch. To use PwnageTool foriPhones you will need to use ‘Expert mode’. This is a workaround while we make an update and fix this issue. In order to do this you will need to navigate to the “General” window and change two things: Deselect “activate” ONLY if you are normally able to activate through iTunes (but if you wish to ‘hacktivate’ the iPhone using PwnageTool then leave it selected). You will also need to change the partition size to about 1000MB (type in the value or use the slider).
Baseband 101
The ‘baseband’ is the generic name given to the internal components of the iPhone that handle the phone calls and Internet access. This ‘baseband’ is a tiny and unique independent computer system that runs inside your iPhone, it is separate to the main system that handles the applications (such as email and google maps) and it talks to the main part of the phone over an internal communications network. Think of it like a cable modem or other peripheral that is attached to your home PC that needs occasional updates. When a software update is released and presented to you within iTunes the baseband is sometimes updated (to fix bugs or add new features). The 2.2 update for the iPhone 3G contains such an update, so running the vanilla updater straight away with iTunes will reprogram and update the baseband. This could be bad for certain people, depending on your ultimate aim.
SIM Free/SP Unlocked/Factory Unlocked iPhone 3G
This applies if you bought your iPhone 3G for $$$$$$$. This model of iPhone 3G doesn’t have an Service Provider lock (aka factory unlocked) and you are able to put any SIM card into the phone and get service. Your phone is already unlocked so you do not need to worry about baseband updates, simply upgrade to 2.2 using iTunes and then use QuickPwn to Pwn and Jailbreak. This will add Cydia and Installer too.
Locked iPhone 3G - Preserve Baseband
This applies if you have a locked iPhone 3G and you wish to update to 2.2 but preserve the iPhone’s current baseband software. Preserving the baseband will give you the maximum chance for any upcoming software unlock. To upgrade your phone to 2.2 and preserve the state of the baseband you need to create a custom .ipsw with PwnageTool. This custom .ipsw will not contain the baseband update but of course will still allow all the cool new stuff from 2.2.
There are plenty of tutorials about this process on the web, but PwnageTool contains intuitive graphics and easy to follow prompts that should have you up and running in no time at all.
Locked iPhone 3G
If you are using your iPhone with one carrier and have no interest in the possibility of an iPhone 3G unlock in the near future then just restore or upgrade to 2.2 using iTunes and use QuickPwn to Jailbreak and add Cydia and Installer.
Locked iPhone 2G (1st Generation)
Restore your iPhone 2G with iTunes then run QuickPwn to do the magic, ‘nuff said.
iPod Touch 1G (Original iPod Touch)
Update to 2.2 with iTunes and run QuickPwn.
iPod Touch 2G (New iPod Touch)
Sorry, no support at this time.
We will be updating our tutorials shortly please stay tuned for step by step instructions!

Check out this video from the developer of a very different game called Platypus coming soon for the iPhone/iPod touch. Literally every element of the game is made out of clay. The developers used high quality cameras to photographed clay figures and ported it to the iPhone/iPod touch making a very cool 3d looking accelerometer-based game along with a nice & smooth gameplay. We can't wait to get our hands on this game. I will be making a video review of this game and posting more video reviews i got ready. Stay Tuned.
Apple has just released 2.2 for the iPhone 2G/3G. This update has fixed a few things as well as added several exciting new features, however if your phone is jailbroken DO NOT UPGRADE!

Apple just released a new iTunes update. The new version is 8.0.2 and addresses a couple of minor issues and improves accessibility for users with impaired vision. I encourage the Jailbreak Community to stay with 8.0.1 in case that the new version of iTunes don't recognize jailbroken iPhones & iPod touches as well as "Cracked Apps".
The 60.3MB update, which is available through Apple's iTunes site or via software update for Mac OSX and Windows is probably the gate for the new iPhone/iPod touch 2.2 Firmware Upgrade that Apple's is preparing to release as early as tomorrow which would bring us new features and bug fixes.

Apple Inc. has a new patent running around explaining a new technology that will allow the iPhone to have "Always-On" display with almost no battery cost. Here's a brief explanation from Apple about how this useful technology would work:
The primary backlight system may block light from the secondary backlight system except for those one or more regions. Thus, the size and shape of the status indicator may be set by sizing and shaping the transparent or semitransparent regions of the primary backlight system. In addition to setting the size and shape of the icon, the color of the icon may also be set by adjusting the color of the light provided by the secondary backlight system.
For example, each indicator may have a particular color, blinking speed, or light intensity. These properties may be programmed into the electronic device by the user, or may be hard-coded or hard-wired into the system. Thus, when the secondary backlight is turned on, the properties of the light provided by the secondary backlight system may depend on the status of the device. Also, if the status of the electronic device changes while the secondary backlight is on, the properties of the light provided by the secondary backlight system may change to reflect the new status.
