Hello iPhone, Bye Bye AT&T
Say goodbye to my little frien’. You know how it goes, some big company launches some exclusive product for millions and millions, and within a few months, some curly haired kid in someone’s parents basement arms themselves with a soldering gun and some weird software and bam, all of a sudden that product isn’t so exclusive anymore.
That’s the case with the altogether too often mentioned iPhone. That curly haired kid is George Hotz, and he did just that. He took the iPhone, unlocked it and is now using it with T-Mobile, NOT AT&T. Wow. The good news is, if you’re not a phone of AT&T’s service (or the forests they kill for bills) you can maybe try it out on a different network, see how you like it there.
Now, I think we should have some sort of race, or contest or something, although I don’t know exactly what I’d give away. I want to see who can figure out a way to get WHERE up and running on an iPhone. That’d be awesome, would it not?! Not sure if it’s possible, I lack the hack skills to pull that off, but nevertheless, it would be an awesome thing.
Sound off…is it possible?

iPhones are cool, but Apple has just announced a poison pill upgrade that will render hacked phones useless. And guess what? The warranty gets voided if you hack, so no replacement. Seems a little mean-spirited to me…
And what about Win Mobile 5 or 6? I expected to see my HTC Mogul in the list of supported Sprint phones.
