N.J. Teen Unlocks Apple's iPhone
 

NEW YORK — Friday was not a good day for AT&T Wireless.

Three separate hacks that fully unlock the Apple iPhone from AT&T surfaced, two of them claiming to be software-only.

Best documented was a hack by George Hotz, 17, of Glen Rock, N.J.

With a little soldering, a lot of command-line computing and about two hours of time, Hotz was able to switch an iPhone over to T-Mobile, which he documented in detail in a YouTube video and on his blog.

HA! Good for him! That kid obviously has talent. He probably landed himself a nice job with that one in the future. Quite frankly, I'm surprised it took this long for someone to unlock one, given its popularity. Guess what this means... iPhones in Canada! You will just have to re-mortgage your house for the data costs... :(

Interesting read - Thanks for the post!
