Weird hole on an ipod?

[F4thAcE]

so i bought a ipod touch 2g 16g at a yardsale for $20 not to long ago the ipod was not charged and it was some dad selling stuff (he told me it was his sons before he left for college. and that he didn't know how it worked) so i bought it took it home and charged it (surprisingly) and it turned out to be jailbroken with a passcode. no big deal i just did a force restore and installed a pirated 4.0 fw into it. but then i took off the back case (it had a rubber case protecter on it) and there was this hole in the back of it and i can't figure out what it is. it looked like he sawed it out with some kind of rotary tool. anway here is the pic any ideas what this is?

Well from the research that I have done for you it would appear that 1G and 2G ipod touch models suffer from poor wifi range...

And although I have not found any posts on Youtube or Google for a 2G touch that tell you how to boost the wifi with this method, I think the person that that device found a tut somewhere or took it upon himself to cut that hole in the case to gain access to the external wifi connector and would have had an external wifi antenna to connect to it to extend the wifi range...

Probably when trying to steal the neighbors wifi's
