After Android-enabled HP TouchPad appeared on the eBay auction website a few days ago, Apple's iOS-running device was cracked, which was just a matter of time.
The message indicates that Droid Program Members Patrick Wildt and Ricky Taylor have successfully cracked Apple's mobile devices so that they can run Linux, that is, the operating system can run on iPad, iPhone, or fourth-generation iPod Touch.
The details of the cracking are not clear at present, but for developers, this news is really exciting, because the devices built by Apple's A4 chip are famous for being hard to crack.
These Droid members are now trying to make Linux work on iPad 2, which seems more difficult.
A few days ago, some buyers on eBay claimed to have received the Touchpad result sent by Best Buy to install Google's Android 2.2 operating system. The bidding price was 10 times higher than the original promotion price.
