Why My iPod touch Is Jailbroken
Today, I ran the jailbreak on my [iPod touch](http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FApple-16-GB-iPod-touch%2Fdp%2FB000JNYWBG%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Delectronics%26qid%3D1194057922%26sr%3D8-1&tag=davidsidlinge-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325). I was perfectly content to leave it locked up and wait for ISVs to get their hands on the SDK in February. The *only* thing that I wanted was the ability to add and edit events in the calendar application. I give Apple a lot of leeway (and a lot of my money,) but the artificial limitation they placed on the calendar app on the touch was too much. Apparently, it’s the same binary that runs on the iPhone with a configuration property change. What in the world were they thinking?





I think they were thinking “We like money.” I like money, too.
