Hacker Alleges Crack of Upcoming iPod Touch Firmware

"The battle between Apple and iPhone and iPod Touch owners who like to modify their devices in ways Apple never intended is getting hotter. A hacker claims to have cracked Apple's latest firmware update v1.1.2 for the iPod Touch in advance of Apple pushing the firmware update to iPod Touch owners.

According to Engadget, which forced a firmware update on an iPhone, the v1.1.2 firmware disables unauthorized Apple customization of iPhones that people created using the popular Jailbreak installer program. The iPhone firmware update adds language support to the iPhone and also adds minor features and some fixes, according to Engadget. Similarly the iPod Touch v1.1.2 firmware is expected to reverse unsanctioned Apple modifications as well."
