Kids hack the darndest things

[Mystery_Meat]

NEW YORK (AP) _ A 17-year-old hacker has broken the lock that ties Apple's iPhone to AT&T's wireless network, freeing the most hyped cell phone ever for use on the networks of other carriers, including overseas ones.
George Hotz of Glen Rock, N.J., confirmed Friday that he had unlocked an iPhone and was using it on T-Mobile's network, the only major U.S. carrier apart from AT&T that is compatible with the iPhone's cellular technology. In a video posted to his blog, he holds an iPhone that displays "T-Mobile" as the carrier.

Once unlocked it will be up on eBay. Nice.

Does this mean next summer we'll be looking at AP's version of Who's Now?

Says in spnited's link that he can do one from the box in like an hour.

Wonder how much he'd charge?

I would guess it's legal, right?

If it's not, this kid isn't as smart as he thinks.

I went to the kid's blog and got a headache from reading all the geek talk.

I guess I am not as LEET as I would like to think.

Why wouldn't it be?

According to the AP article, unlocking phones is legal. For most phones, it's a ton easier than with the iPhone. I'm on T-Mobile and haven't gotten a phone through them since my initial activation with them; I always buy unlocked phones.
