Yes they work for ipod touch but this firmware is FOR IPHONE ONLY... If you wanted to change your ipod touch version you need to download the ipod touch firmware wich isn't out yet.
before you download the file on macrumours you have to go into Safari Preferences and there is a checkbox that says "Open Safe Files After Downloading" uncheck this box and when its finished downloading it will come up as a zip file. go to rename the file and highlight the .zip bit at the end and change that to .ipsw then youre done! it will change to an iphone software file and go to itunes then iphone, hold alt, click Check for update click the file click open and youve got urself a 2.0 iphone!
I'd just also like to make a prediction that the firmware for the iPod Touch will be crippled in some way when compared to the iPhone 3G. Apart from the usual phone-related hardware bits and bobs.
