Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
SuperOneClick is an easy way to root almost any Android phone
SuperOneClick is a standard rooting kit, but with a simple GUI to mask all complexity from the end-user. Instead of running the risk of bricking your phone with fiddly command-line tools, this app just requires a single click of the button. You can also unroot the phone and enable Non-Market Apps -- again, with one click. If that wasn't enough, there's even a video showing you how to do it after the break!
There are a few phones that are incompatible with SuperOneclick (all of them HTC), but even then, it's just a matter of visiting Unrevoked and following some (fairly) simple guides. There's also one other problem: it's Windows-only, but it looks like the next major version will support Linux. Mac will have to wait a little longer -- but do Mac users actually own Android phones...?

You can probably ask a friend to get it for you... if you really don't want to register :P

maybe try www.bugmenot.com ? it has user-pass for many popular websites... it helps to avoid having to register...
There's even a firefox addon that pulls user-pass frm bugmenot and fills out login forms for you here - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6349/

Mac user here.. and I absolutely love Android. Have an HTC Magic, and should be upgrading to a Desire HD anytime soon.
No Apple fanboy here, just like god products.
Far too many blind supporters of companies.

Glad to hear it -- and sorry for the insult, in that case :)

Why is it the HTC Dream (G1) never gets any love from these one-click rooters? I mean, I've done it manually, but been hesitant to rollback from my JF 1.5 to get to Cyanogen's Froyo.. :(

When I have more time I will have to research this, but wondering if it works on the Droid X even though it has that annoying lock-down in hardware.
Also wondering if this would interfere with updates to the phone that normally are supposed to be downloaded from the carriers OTA)? The main reason I ask if that I am having some REALLY annoying problems with my X which Moto had finally fessed-up to. If I root it, I get the feeling that I might never get those updates, whenever Moto gets around to it. OR would rooting a phone, and then installing a custom ROM completely negate that issue??
Inquiring minds want to know.
