I don't know him, but I live right near that kid. I better keep my doors locked! I love stuff like this. Apple thinks they're so cool, and a 17 year-old shows them up.

Now if only he could get it to work on Verizon!

Yeah, I saw that! How sweet is that?!?!

his instructions involve soldering and such, here is another place thats (allegedly) going to be just a software based unlock:

Its been confirmed by many popular apple news blogs (see here) that it works with T-Mobile . I like ATT but I really want to be able to use it outside the country, particularly in canada where 4 days of spuratic roaming got me a data roaming bill in the 4 figures .

Yikes! I saw something where someone used theirs overseas and such and had a bill somewhere around $18k for the roaming and data access charges....no fun!

I think my spleen would burst if I opened my bill and saw that.

"summer project" Someone needs to just hire this kid.

Okay, I lied, it was only $3k...I got confused because there was like $1800 worth of roaming charges or something like that....

Anyhow...

LOL - isn't this the YouTube video with the young lady showing her 500 page bill?

I really don't see Apple caring too much about the hack. I would think that anything that would bring their product to more paying customers would be fine with Steve. Of course they have a deal with AT&T so they have to frown a bit just for show.
