If you know anything about jailbreaking your iOS device, you should know about Saurik. Saurik is the creator and maintainer of Cydia, the default app to download whatever onto a jailbroken device. Saurik tweeted out during September 1′s Apple event that the iPod Nano MAY be able to be jailbroken.

Now, if Saurik is being serious here, and a jailbreak is designed for the Nano, what use would it have? Sure, the Nano maybe given the ability to have (low-quality) video with a jailbreak, but there is no Wi-Fi on the Nano, and this basically renders a jailbreak useless. Even if there was Cydia on the Nano, and there was a way to SSH over applications to the Nano, what would you send over? Winterboard maybe, to enable a theme, but this would probably force the iPod to crash. Games maybe, but have fun playing anything on a 1.54 inch display with three buttons. Maybe there would be the ability for different codecs to be run on the Nano, or a tweak to allow unsupported accessories to work. But the truth is, it wouldn’t be worth the hassle for any of this. It can even be concluded that Apple has finally been able to create a “iOS’ device that will not be jailbroken. It seems that just time will tell.
