iTouch Jailbreak Update: Still Not There

I do agree with Eric but for now I hold off the jailbreak

So I'm trying to get a handle on the current state of things. I have a question for the hackes... If we assume that the jail isn't broken, might it still be possible to load a custom firmware? (I'm a big OSX fan, and I run macs, but honestly this iTouch I'm fondling fondly is such a sweep piece of hardware that I would run linux on it if I had to in order to use its full potential as a PDA platform).

Thanks!

How ironic that a company who continually spouts the "brave new world" rhetoric of innovation and revolution, stifle the very means of doing so disallowing 3rd parties to develop software that will make these "revolutionary" products, well... revolutionary.

Dear Steve,

Until these people succeed or you open up the iPod touch yourself I shall withhold my dollars from you.

God Speed, Jailbreakers!

This is just a guess but it could be that Apple is keeping the iPhone and the Touch in lock-down until the release of Leopard. At which time they will release an update to both which utilize Leopard only features.

Erica, you and the crew are doing a terrific job with all the obstacles Apple is putting in front of you. For all current users of the touch and iPhone, opening these platforms will allow added value. For folks like myself, Apple won't have new customers until::

1) hackers open the platform for everyone, or

2) Apple responds to the request to make an SDK available

This new wave of Apple products is disappointing because the possibilities and the excitement of "what could be" are being stifled by the one company that can often revolutionize. Now they seem to be losing their small company feel; guess it was only a matter of time.

Can the ego Apple; encourage the community.

I wonder, If the hardware is as similar as apple made it sound i wonder if you could restore the iPod Touch with iPhone Firmware since thats already hacked.

The only problem with that i guess would be the hardware that the iPod Touch doesn't have (i.e. sim card, mic, camera) may keep it from functioning with the iPhone firmware.

I'm yet another "need to have Calendar add event capability" person. I'm really annoyed that Apple have intentionally removed it. If anyone can write a hack to implement it, I'd gladly pay a fair shareware price. Keep trying!

Thanks for posting the updates here. The technical details are well beyond me but it's exciting to see the story unfold.

iTouch??
iPhuc??
Did I stumble onto a pr0n site?
