So, are retailers now beginning to sell jailbroken version of the iPod Touch? We're not too sure, though an odd advert that Radio Shack circulated last week hints at this possibility.

The iPod, which appears normal enough at first glance, is currently selling for a retail price of US$ 299.99. What gives it away are the presence of two icons: One for the installer, and one for the MobileChat instant messaging app.

Both apps are only available for use on jailbroken iPods. Given that Radio Shack is marked as an authorized iPod reseller (at least according to its ad), we doubt that they've really started selling hacked handhelds.

We imagine this is most likely a case of human error at the office. Drop by again in case we pick up any more word regarding this matter in the near future.
