You can easily jailbreak your old iOS device now using the latest version of Redsn0w. For more information and our complete jailbreaking guide, continue reading after the jump.

Chronic Dev Team has just now released Redsn0w Version 0.9.6b2 for Windows as well as Mac OSX. For those of you who aren’t already familiar with it, Redsn0w is basically a lightweight, multi-platform jailbreaking, unlocking and customizing tool for a range of Apple’s iOS devices including the iPhone 2G (original iPhone), iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 1G, iPod touch 2G, and iPod touch 3G. This release of Redsn0w is specially targeted towards iPhone 3G users and iPod Touch 2G folks, waiting to jailbreak their devices on iOS 4.1 and iOS 4.2 Beta.

Before you proceed, it is important to mention here that Redsn0w actually upgrades your baseband while jailbreaking, so if you are looking for unlocking your device after this jailbreak, ultrans0w unlock might not work anymore on the newer baseband. That’s why those of you relying on carrier unlock after jailbreak are requested to stay away from this build for now, until there is a clear go ahead from Dev Team through their blog post.
