Results: Do you hack your iPod poll

A while back we made a poll that asked the lovely people out there if they hacked their iPod’s. Well we let the poll sit on the front page for long enough, and now have all of the results.

Yes – 203

No – 42

I’m scared to – 76

I don’t know how – 196

Total Votes: 517

It looks like a lot of people do, and a lot of people don’t know how to. Well I’m currently researching into the iPhone and iPod touch hacking spectrum as that is something that we haven’t covered at all here, and I think I will do that, as well as some of the classic iPod hacking as well.

Also guest articles are welcome! Email me and we’ll see what we can work out!
