We're still a ways off from living our dream iPod nano watch
scenarios, but here's a small step in the right direction. As the
story goes, on a flight home James Whelton booted up an iPod nano with
a modified SpringBoard plist file that "removed" an app from the
screens and replaced it with a blank space. What does this mean? Not
much at this point, but it could provide a pathway to further hacking,
jailbreaking, and yes, writing and installing those dream apps that
make this a great wrist accessory. Video proof after the break.
