They didn't stop people from hacking the ipod. The only hacks they seem to fix are: 1. OS security holes (obviously) 2. Hacks they are contractually obligated to fix (i.e. iTunes DRM) Yes, they won't support any problems you have with your phone after you hack it, but we've seen with the Apple TV and iPod that hacks adding functionality are ignored and implicitly encouraged (by not denouncing them- any company that really didn't like this would speak out or close the holes). Does anyone really think that the Apple TV root password was so simple because of a mistake? Remember they are first and foremost a hardware company, and that is where they make their money. If a 3rd party hacks in and creates another reason to buy the phone, they are secretly pleased. The vast majority of their users enjoy the secure embrace of Apple-only programs, even with their limitations. The presence of these hacks actually helps them to serve both kinds of consumers- those who tinker and those who don't.
