Imagine if anyone could create applications for the iPod Touch. You'd have 17 Voice-over-IP applications released for it in the blink of an eye, and then where would the iPhone be? Well, it'd be working outside Wi-Fi hotspots, but you see my point. Anyway, the news is that Apple is cracking down hard on hackers trying to break down the iPod Touch software in order to put third-party apps on it. One codemonkey's already been served with a takedown notice after promising to make the device's source code available for fellow hackers.
