A Jailbroken iPod has full root access to it's filesystem.

And 90% of the morons who jailbreak leave the default "alpine" password too.

Anyway, once you have root access, you still (probably) can't get at the code for the screen lock (I'm guessing it's either it's own executable or a function implemented directly into the OS).

But what's to stop you from writing a look-alike with similar functionality? Think like a hacker, dammit!

The fact that pushing the "lock" button, will still bring up the regular iOS version, and the fact that it'd feel incomplete if all it was, was another App. I just like being thorough about these things :/

Incomplete? I'd imagine it'd still work nonetheless...
