iPod Touch is Hacked!

Friday, October 12, 2007 by IRaidedTheFridge | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Hey you iPod touch owners! The touch has been hacked to include ALL kinds of apps. Seriously. There's tons. Also, they are replacing the shell icons. I figured you guys may be interested!

You should have really said Moddable rather than hacked...

Yeah, they got temporarily "bricked" until yesterday when then became un-bricked again.

But really, do most of us care?    Oh, wait a minute, forgot where I was, sorry.

Luckily, iPods can't be bricked. If anything goes wrong, you just hold the top and home buttons for a while and re-start in recovery mode. This will delete all files and re-install the firmware through itunes. It's really looking good. People have managed to include new backgrounds and icons. And of course, apps!

And yeah, it was a hack, not a 'mod' because the whole thing works by exploiting a memory dump bug which allows new code to be written directly into the iPod! Cool!

When I saw this...and your name beneath, I was expecting a rant about iTunes and how you'd taken a machette to your brand new iPod Touch.

....or that maybe you girlfriend discovered it really DIDN'T belong to a friend and attacked it with a chainsaw.

So glad to see it's something even more laughable.

lol starkers, you are an interesting fellow. Why not just say "thats cool", or something that contributes to the conversation. What is laughable about adding apps to an ipod touch?

In the forums, as it is in life, you are not always going to get the responses you were looking for.
