Looks like the iPhone Dev Hackers Team has just released the source code for a free unlock so you can use the iPhone with any SIM…how sweet is that? It reminds me of the movie Antitrust – where they broadcast the source code over every device in the world!

Now, I have bashed the iPhone recently, and I still stand by that bashing. I hate the fact it is locked to AT&T. I will never get one and activate it with AT&T. But, do I get one and hack the hell out of it? Well, of course. If I can move my SIM from my T-Mobile Dash to the iPhone and back, well that is just awesome. I still think there should be an SDK, hopefully one day there is.
Question is, do you wait for the 2nd Gen iPhones? Do you get one now? I might walk down to the Apple store right now and check them out. Seeing as I can hack it/unlock it, it makes it soooo much more appealing. Here is a screenshot of some code, directly from my computer, love it :
Oh, and also an Exec at Apple today said that they are indifferent on 3rd party apps on the phones, which is a good stance.
I still despise iTunes. Next task for the iPhone Dev Team – rewrite iTunes!
You going to buy a Macbook next just so you can hack that?
