2G iPod Touch Jailbroken at Last
Posted in: Today's Chili
One oddity of the jailbreaking scene is that, while the iPhone 3G was liberated months ago, the second generation iPod Touch has remained hack proof. Until now, that is. Nitrokey Slipstream is a solution that claims to unlock the iPod and allow you to install non-App Store software on it.
We say "claims" as the product site looks a little suspicious. First, the team wants money. The software costs $15 and runs on Windows machines only (OS X support is promised "soon"). In addition, there is no demo video, no screen shots, nothing. The only hint of what you might get is a picture of an iPod Touch with the Cydia icon on its screen. Cydia is the jailbreak version of the official App Store.
This may of course be unfounded suspicion, but as ever it seems a little odd that hackers should charge for a hacking tool. It’s like expecting people to pay for a BitTorrent client. Besides, if this hack works, you can be sure that there will be a free version along soon from the iPhone Dev Team.
