iPhone Hacked by George Hotz


About time such a thing will happen and this kid made it look so simple that he's an instant legend. Can you imagine what this means if iPhone gets to Singapore? Your own choice of subscriber but apparently iPhone can only host AT&T or T-Mobile in the States.The iPhone has already been made to work on overseas networks using a third method, which involves copying information from the Subscriber Identity Module, a small card with a chip that identifies a subscriber to the cell-phone network.17 year-old George Hotz has since posted on his blog that he has traded his modified masterpiece for a Nissan 350Z and three 8GB iPhones. The 17 year old also said that he will be sending the three new iPhones to the three online collaborators who helped him divorce Apple Inc's popular product from AT&T's network. The job took 500 hours, or about 8 hours a day since the iPhone's launch in June 29th. More stuff about the kid and his work can be found at http://iphonejtag.blogspot.com/
