So, Arnan talked me into checking it out. I went to Jailbreakme.com on my iPod Touch and installed it’s installer app. I went through the restarts and up it came. I downloaded the community repositories and started surfing through the apps.
I installed the To-Do List application and it didn’t work it, it needed the BSD libraries to work properly. So with that I browsed the rest of the available applications in all categories. There is a Terminal, SSH Client, Apache Server, PHP Runtime, Games, Female Cycle Calendar (are you kidding me?), and much more to choose from but shortly after I redownloaded 1.1.1 and restored my iPod Touch to factory. Why do you ask? There just wasn’t anything on there vital enough to risk the stability of my iPod Touch.
I can dig the concept, and if there is stuff that comes along that is really cool I might consider it. I would do some research online first and see if there is something on there you really can’t live without. If not, wait until Apple releases it’s SDK in January and watch the apps roll in from legit sources.
Later in the evening, the ease of restoring it led me to re-hack it and I tried a bunch of applications. As you can see now I have a ton of things to play with and all of them seem to work perfectly except IRC. I have yet to get any of the three IRC clients to work.
