Weekend circulars show jailbroken iPod touch with Installer on board

by Joshua Topolsky, posted Apr 13th 2008 at 3:04PM

We're not sure who nodded off in the art department, but we're fairly certain they're going to be wide awake come Monday morning. Apparently, Radio Shack is running circulars this week featuring the iPod touch... with the Installer and MobileChat icons. We're sure Apple will be stoked to discover that a jailbroken iPod is hanging out in one of America's most-viewed ads, and we're equally sure that buyers will be pleased to learn they don't really get an IM application with their purchase. Champagne for everyone!

Update: Take a look at a screen grab from the circular after the break.

[Thanks, Matt & Oscar M]

1.1.2 jailbreak software released

by Joshua Topolsky, posted Nov 11th 2007 at 11:22PM

The kind folks at Conceited Software / TouchFree have just dropped their 1.1.2 jailbreak GUI on the freedom-lovin' iPhone world. According to Erica at TUAW, the OS X software siphons data from your downgraded (or pre-existing) 1.1.1 iPod touch or iPhone, upgrades it with the Jailbreak, installs Installer.app and SSH.app, and then ups the whole shebang to your device. As mentioned, you'll need to have 1.1.1 on your system (if you've upgraded or purchased a device with 1.1.2 installed), and this won't fly on units that have been "hactivated" (i.e., it only works with iTunes-activated devices). Hit the read link and learn all about sticking it to Apple... proper-like.
