Soon after my friend Elliott and I spent some time going over the iPhone features last week (including demonstrating to Elliott the Web browsing and pinching-in and out to zoom on webpages that are otherwise unreadable), Elliott mentioned that he just heard about a young man who unlocked the Apple iPhone!
Well the next day, Elliott followed up on this newsworthy development, by sending me this article from the New York Times. As you can see 17-year-old George Hotz and the iPhoneSimFree group seem to be have unlocked the Apple iPhone:
With Software and Soldering, a Non-AT&T iPhone
It remains to be seen what the legal consequences are if any, but for now, if you are really interested in a non-AT&T Apple iPhone, and as the above article mentioned, you may be able to get one from George or from the iPhoneSimFree group on e-Bay, but it will cost you $$$.
