iPod Touch Hacked; Apple’s Profits Set to Go Higher
posted in Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG), iPod, iPod Touch, iPhone |Engadget.com recently published an article discussing the recent “jailbreak” that has set the iPod Touch free. Now, the iPod Touch, through the power of Wi-Fi, can run mail programs, Google Maps, and much more.
From the beginning of Apple’s creation of the iPhone, and now the iPod Touch, hackers have been looking for a way around the company’s stronghold on their products. Users have demanded instant messaging capabilities, a full-function mail application, and various other ways to take advantage of the Wi-Fi enabled devices. Unfortunately, Apple has yet to respond and create their own programs of this nature. In the meantime, hackers have officially accomplished their goal of opening the device to 3rd party apps.
The hacking of any of the Apple products means only one thing for the company, more money. Once these devices are hacked, there’s always an increase in sales. Potential customers like the idea of “hacking” the products, as well as using considerably more features then the regular user. Heck, having a more advanced mail system is just one more reason to consider an iPod Touch a little more worthy of our attention.
Keep an eye out for Apple over the next few days, they’re set to report earnings on October 22nd.Estimates: 0.99 | 0.84 | 0.72
