Ah, there's easy file system access on Macs (desktop and laptops). It's a simple matter to copy files into the file system. The Macs with OS X have a stable installer, and lots of apps to easily install.
iPhones, and now the Touch, do not allow such simple access to the file system. That's what the hacks are mostly about - access to the directories and etc.
I don't expect that situation to last too long. Someone will come up with an effective installer. Apple already announced that the OS on the 'Phone and the touch is a substantial portion of the OS X code.
