I wondered how long it would take for the big “L” word (Legal, that is) would take to pop up in reaction to people unlocking the iPhone for use with carriers other than AT&T. I gotta give that 17 year old kid credit for doing it though. If Apple or AT&T were smart, they’d snatch him up. Apparently it’s not illegal to unlock the phone for personal use, but it might not be legal to unlock it and sell the phone or the technology to unlock it for a profit. I’m betting they’re not going to do the kid anything, but I do foresee any companies wanting to sell their software hacks being shut down. I’ve heard talk of other cell phone makers producing spin-offs of the iPhone. If it were me, I’d just wait until one of them came out with one before I go hacking into any $600 phone and voiding a warranty. :) You can read more at FoxNews.
