Here are Notes from that Video.
iPhone 3G with Firmware 2.2.1
Upgrading your iPhone to firmware 2.2.1 will affect your ability to Unlock your iPhone 3G with yellowsn0w. Reason is Firmware 2.2.1 will upgrade your iPhone baseband to 2.30.03 where as yellosn0w is designed to work with baseband 02.28.00. One way you can upgrade your iPhone firmware to 2.2.1 is by custom firmware which will not update your baseband but that’s not possible as pwnagetool and quickpwn are still not updated for firmware 2.2.1.
iPod Touch 2G with Firmware 2.2.1
Musclenerd mentioned that even after upgrading iPod Touch 2G to firmware 2.2.1 doesn’t affect the ability to jailbreak and they can still tethered jailbreak iPod Touch 2G 2.2.1. The Dev Team working on exploit to allow an untethered jailbreak.

updated my iphone to 2.2.1 via itunes and lost my unlocked ‘freedom’. Should I resort to the turbo sim or is the Dev Team closer to finding a solution to unlocking 2.2.1 firmware ? Is the turbo sim safe?
Those who have updated to 2.2.1 there is no way to downgrade the baseband and dev team is still unable to find a solution. So get a Simtool. This time let them earn some money.
