As I said, you can't jailbreak the v2 iPod Touch. Still, we have
1) Virtual Pool
2) An accounting/cash management app
3) Checklist/shopping apps
4) a todo list that works, with more advanced ones (i.e. Things) available
5) Calendars that work (though simple, PocketInformant is on the way, huzzah!)
6) Fring
7) Speed - PDF reading and zooming is very pleasant!
8) iSilo
9) Commercial developers willing to commit (see #9)
10) Great music and video management

Restrictions? I don't really see them. Limitations? Sure, but I'll bet we see copy and paste long before we see a calendar for Maemo.

The n8x0 has #6... Open source really hasn't helped where it really matters. Sure, the n8x0 is a computer, but a computer without any software is kinda heartbreaking, isn't it?
