Kinda cool that a 17 year old kid hacked the iPhone. While I'm a big Apple fan, I'm glad this was done. It will be interesting to see if a software hack becomes available.

I think I saw a story about a group that achieved a sim chip unlock. Let's see if I can find it for you....

this isn't the news item I read but it gives basically the same details

Thanks! I heard a bit about this, but haven't look much into it. Maybe an iPhone someday. :)

What I don't get is...why? I'm sure I'm missing something here but why bother? It's terribly naive of me, I know. Just the challenge? Or is there something they actually want to do now that it's unlocked?

Ah, ok reading pooklaroux's link makes more sense now. I'll go have that first cup of coffee now. It'll make my brain work better.

I know caffeine usually helps me. :)

Sounds cool I'd be interested in an I-phone if Palm/Handspring continues to be non competitive with their new ownership. They had Crackberry beat, and started the market, then they dropped the ball.
