First, we'll cover upgrading. It takes about a half hour on Windows XP machines, but probably around 5-15 minutes on Windows Vista & 7/Mac OS X.
The OS itself is pretty good. I am bummed about multitasking and a home screen wallpaper not being able to be included on the iPod touch 2G version of the OS. I really like the app folders, it really cleaned up my home screen.
The new dock looks really cool and I prefer it to the docks in iPhone OS 1-3 and most of the ones you can get for WinterBoard if you jailbreak your iPod. A reflection was added also. It's just awesome.
Spell-check is a new addition. YouTube can go portrait. Everything is so responsive.
iBooks is an app that is only available on iOS 4 (except iPad). It's a convenient addition and I'd recommend it to anyone who upgrades.
Overall, if you relied on a jailbroken IPod touch (MC models, you can check which model you have by going into Settings>General>About) I wouldn't suggest upgrading. There's a jailbreak for iPhone 3G/3GS, and iPod touch 3G/(non-MC) 2G but I'd wait for a better jailbreak.
If you can't wait for iOS 4 and want to jailbreak it, and if you have a non-MC model iPod touch/iPhone, follow this link:
