2) Whats the best free app for using with MSN, I currently have eBuddy.

3) I have OS 3.1.2 and have Skype installed if I get a pair of headphones with a microphone can I make VOIP calls over WiFi?

4) I have jailbroken and have Cydia but don't know how to install themes and customize the lockscreen. I want to have this sort of setup, mail, weather, stocks etc on my my lockscreen, how do you go about doing it?

I use Echofon and Twitterific. They both do everything you need. I prefer the layout of twitterific.

For no #4, try looking up "gruppled lockinfo"

So is it as simple as using Cydia to get Lockinfo then installing the individual components you want.

Is lockinfo a pay for app cause it said continue trial, will it stop working at some point?

Download and install winterboard, it allows you to theme your iPod touch

New question

I've got winterboard and installed and have theme that I downloaded on my computer in a zip file format, where and how do i put it to make it work?

[SMELTN]

yeah unzip it into a folder and SSH into your phone using iphonebrowser or ifunbox and put it in your Library/themes folder. Go into Winterboard and put a check beside the theme.

2) for try IM+ Lite for all major messengers like yahoo, gtalk, MSN, AOL etc...

[SMELTN]

Problem is that it's just like everything else now. There are so many different options out that you really just need to try them all and find the one you like best. Personally I love beejive the best for IM. I used a cracked version for a while but I loved it so much that I purchased it. As far as Twitter apps. I really don't know. I have tweetdeck and tweetie installed and both have their good sides. I was just more comfortable with tweetdeck because I use it as my desktop client.
