iphone hack worth 30k?

found this on zcar

It may be hard to believe that two hacks may have been found to unlock the iPhone, but 17-year-old George Hotz of New Jersey dedicated his summer to doing it before he headed off to school, according to the SF Chronicle.

Unlike the iPhoneSimFree.com team, which provided a demo of the unlock to Engadget, Hotz decided to accept his fame, interviews with CNBC and Fox News, and publish the steps to unlocking the phone as well. He was able to get his AT&T phone working with a T-Mobile SIM.

Oh, and what did he do with his unlocked iPhone? Sell it on eBay. But after fraudulent bids kicked the price into the millions, Hotz traded it for -- get this -- "a sweet Nissan 350Z and 3 8GB iPhones." How did he do it? Links after the jump."

goes to show you

the free market capitalistic society wont be stopped. iPhones should be used on any network the consumer wants to use it on. I hope they crack it for every network.
