Apple iPhone Unlocked
It was only a matter of time before someone picked the lock to one of the most anticipated technology products since the Blackberry or iPod. What is interesting is that, the lock was picked by a teen-ager that is just heading off to college.
George Hotz remembers taking apart his first computer, an Apple II, when he was 4 or 5 years old.
He cracked open an answering machine, remote control, vacuum cleaner and more computers. He scavenged for more products to tinker with on trash night in his neighborhood.
Now the 17-year-old from Glen Rock, N.J., has reached the big leagues of hacking. He says he has "unlocked" the iPhone, finding a way to get around the device's restrictions and allow it to be used not only on AT&T's cell phone network but also on T-Mobile's network and overseas.
