We will see how long it lasts. I bet Apple is already working on SW update to lock the phones again as they should. |

It should be noted that those two links are not for the same unlock.
The engadget unlock is purely software. |

As they should? You know the problem with cell phones in the US.. they all suck except this one phone. It does a ton of things, but it sucks too. It's just like when AT&T was the only people you could "lease" a phone from and they sucked. Look at the phones you can put into your house today. AT&T would not have made them as fast since they'd just release a phone with x feature, then to get the new x feature you'd have to upgrade.
Phones in other countries are leaps and bounds ahead of what we call a cell phone.
still I want my ipod touch.... |

Apple. It's their code that those guys are messing with. I doubt it's legal. |

said by retropolitan :Apple. It's their code that those guys are messing with. I doubt it's legal. Totally legal. If I buy a $500 phone I can shit on it, hit it with a hammer, modify it, tow it behind my car, whatever.
From the article:
There is apparently no U.S. law against unlocking cell phones. Last year, the Library of Congress specifically excluded cell-phone unlocking from coverage under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Among other things, the law has been used to prosecute people who modify game consoles to play a wider variety of games.

Ummmmm.....what are you smoking and where can I get some?
They own the raw code....once they sell the packaged OS, it's MINE...
