When we learned from Apple hardware marketing chief Greg Joswiak that the iPod Touch ran the exact same OS as the iPhone, we knew this would be a great toy for hackers to play with once it arrived. Well the iPod Touch (affectionately known as the iTouch) has fallen into the hands of the iPhone dev team and they've already started to try and figure out how to "jailbreak" the iPod Touch.
Erica Sadun has a report over at Tuaw, and so far things have not been going so hot. Jailbreaking is the iTouch isn't the same as jailbreaking an iPhone according to Sadun. The problem lies in getting the iTouch file system to mount on the Mac in order to read and write files and so far thats a no go. Erica reports that many of the iPhone devs are frustrated and that at this point a jailbreak for the iPod Touch seems unlikely.
Give them a few more days and some sleep. We're sure their confidence will be restored and we'll see the iPod Touch jailbroken by next week Friday. Where theres a will, theres a way right?
