I guess those that do are buying something they can characterize as unique. I'll just keep my iPod touch an original and ordinary. <a href="http://personafile.com/Apple-iPod-touch-16GB-3-500-Songs-MA627LLA-885909121793.htm" rel="nofollow">Apple iPod touch</a> I’m not sure why I would want to risk buying a iPod touch or iPhone that has been hacked our unlocked.

Personally, I feel apple computers are made and best suited for people who don't want to bother with what is going on "behind the scenes," and never really wonder if they can make the thing do something out of the ordinary/something it wasn't originally intended to (ie: improvements/hacking). Apple makes boatloads of money off of these people because these are people who just want their stuff to work.

LOL. It's just really --- REALLY -- funny to watch.
