Teen Unlocks iPhone

The Apple iPhone was made out to be the biggest deal since sliced bread. Reasons why it was so popular are because it uses touch screen navigation. It is a phone, video media player, audio media player, it has a camera, and it offers internet service, such as email, web browsing, and even local Wi-Fi connectivity. That’s right, it slices, it dices, and is the biggest breakthrough for humans to have as little one on one confrontation as possible. Though, one of the drawbacks to the phone was that the service provider had to be AT&T. But, because of a 17 year old student from New Jersey, the phone can be used with other wireless providers, if properly hacked. The students name is George Hotz, and he completed his summer project by hacking into the iPhone. One of his reasons is so that he could get on his family's T-Mobile plan with an iPhone. Hotz has posted the hacking information on his website for free so that anyone can use it. One of his two hacked iPhones has gone for $3000 on Ebay. He plans to keep the other one for himself.
