Whats the point of doing this? Apple said they were going to allow third-party access to the Touch and iPhone in February, so whats the point of risking it if you're going to get the same thing with no risk in less than a month?
Same thing? No. Apple may release a few games or other software to satisfy a few people, but they will never allow the decent amount of access the community can make.
And, on the previous cynical topic, the iPhone is not a "phone." It's a PDA with a Frankenstein esque amalgamation of any and all broad reaching features that somehow warrant it's ridiculous release price. It's "telephone communication" function is hardly the key selling point.
Speaking of which, pop culture bought it because it had a little "i" in front of it. It was also shiny and you could touch it to make it do stuff. Not only is that ironic, it's counter productive with the same easily smudging and scratching materials forever bound to the cest pool of "i" devices.
Edit: After somehow taking the time to watch the video, this kid sounds like he's reading off of a tutorial and doesn't know half of what he's doing. If he came up with this himself, all well and good, but if someone says "then open this folder, click the bottom right file and click ok" and "oh, this is kinda hard, hold shift then click then press ok after selecting that file" I can't take them seriously. It would be fine if the camera's lens wasn't having focus seizures when looking at the monitor, but we can't read it and it only provides a vague idea what to do.
