Hackers Claim to Unlock iPhone 2.0
Jonny Evans, Macworld UK
With HP wireless printers, you could have printed this from any room in the house. Live wirelessly. Print wirelessly.
Apple's unreleased iPhone 2.0 software has already been cracked -- before it even ships, at least that's what a renegade group of developers have claimed.
The iPhone Dev Team claim to have cracked the software, meaning yet more pressure on Apple in the cat and mouse game between software developers and the owners of a million unlocked iPhones and the company and its network partners.
The developers claim to have decrypted and jailbroken the new iPhone software, and have published a series of screenshots of third party applications running on the device.
The jailbreak currently only works with hacked activation, meaning it won't work with AT&T iPhone's yet.
Apple executives have characterized the buoyant global market in unlocked iPhones as a positive thing, suggesting strong pent-up demand for the product, which is as yet available in just four markets; U.S., U.K., Germany and France.
