How to run iPhone applications on the iPod Touch

iPod Touch app screenGizmodo is reporting that one of its readers has figured out a way to run iPhone applications on the iPod Touch -- email, Google Maps, the lot (apart from the phone app, obviously).

There's a guide on how to do it available already, but it's lengthy and looks fiendishly complicated. It's based on the Jailbreak trick used to unlock the iPhone, and that recently backfired when Apple's latest update rendered unlocked phones all but useless.

The iPhone problem seemed to lie with its mobile phone functionality, though -- something that the Touch lacks. So, this is possibly a safer hack, though use it at your own risk...
