Unlocked iPhone On eBay - Teen Hackers Gets 350Z & 3 iPhones (VIDEO)
[Edit]
[Edit]
It’s still unknown whether Apple and AT&T will press lawsuits against iPhone hackers. In the meantime, George Hotz, the-17-year-old New Jersey hacker who unlocked the iPhone is making the most of his discovery. The teen traded the original hacked iPhone on eBay for a Nissan 350Z and three 8 GB iPhones. Not a bad deal, unless of course, he gets a team of AT&T’s lawyers on his case.
What could be better for teenage hacker than successfully unlocking the iPhone so that it could be used on an alternative phone network?
How about a new car? This is the enviable choice offered to George Hotz on Monday. Hotz is the 17-year-old from New Jersey who made headlines when he told the world that he, along with help from four others, had managed to unlock an iPhone and use it on T-Mobile's wireless network.
Will Hotz get sued? "I think he is ripe to be sued, because there's a principle in law that if you don't protect your rights, you may effectively waive them," Kramer explained. "I think Apple and AT&T will want to make sure people don't play around with their software."
