I guess I really am only interested in the jailbreak if there are codecs available so the iPod touch can play things like xvid/divx/wmv/wma/etc instead of having to mess with all that converting crap. Anyone hear any news about this sort of thing?
I have yet to hear anything apart from peoples "wants".
I don't know about you but I would love to be able to copy various encoded multimedia files via SCP and play them back with VLC. Something about that VLC orange safety cone icon on my SpringBoard would be sexy.
