I found this online, i found it VERY helpful:

"

You can use iCloud on a 2nd gen ipod touch IF you already have an iCloud account. I also have a 4th gen ipod touch with iCloud account. There are other ways to obtain an account such as updating from mobile me, ect. I don't know of other ways but you can google it. I just know it works if you ALREADY have an iCloud account. Here is what I've found so far:

Connect your device by WiFi, then:

Mail:

Make a new Others > MailAccount in Settings under Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Set it as follows:

IMAP (incoming Server)

Server: imap.mail.me.com

SSL: yes

Port: 993

Username: The Apple ID you use for iCloud (username@me.com)

Password: your password

Description: whatever you want

Outgoing mail server: smtp.mail.me.com

Server: smtp.mail.me.com

SSL: yes

Port: 587

smtp Auth: yes

Username: The Apple ID you use for iCloud (username@me.com)

Password: your password

Calendars:

Make a new Others > CalDAV account in Settings under Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Set it as follows:

Server: caldav.icloud.com

User Name: The Apple ID you use for iCloud (username@me.com)

Password: your password

Description: whatever you want

Next open the Calendar App and select (check) the Calendars you wish to view on the device.

(some devices will sync quickly, others require restart)

Contacts:

Make a new Others > CardDAV account in Settings under Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

Server:contacts.icloud.com

User Name: Apple ID you use for iCloud (username@me.com)

Password: your password

Description: whatever you want

(if you have problems with sync, goto Advanced Settings. SSL=OFF. let it re-verify. Settings should be re-set by iCloud to

SSL: ON, and Port: 443)

Find My iPhone:

Make a new MobileMe account in Settings under Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

User Name: Apple ID you use for iCloud (username@me.com)

Password: your password

There will be a switch to turn on Find My iPhone."
