Apple iPhone unlocked: AT&T loses iPhone exclusivity

iPhone unlocked: AT&T loses iPhone exclusivity, August 24, 2007,

It's high noon, Apple and AT&T -- we really hate to break it to you,
but the jig is up. Last night the impossible was made possible: right
in front of our very eyes we witnessed a full SIM unlock of our iPhone
with a small piece of software. It's all over, guys.

The iPhoneSIMfree.com team called us up to prove their claim that they
cracked Apple's iPhone SIM lock system, and prove it they did. (No, we
don't have a copy of the unlock software, so don't even ask us, ok?)
The six-man team has been working non-stop since launch day, and
they're officially the first to break Apple's SIM locks on the iPhone
with software. It's done. Seriously. They wouldn't tell us when and
how they would release it to the public, but you can certainly bet
that they'll try to make a buck on their solution (and rightly so). We
can hardly believe the iPhone's finally been cracked. No, scratch that
-- we just can't believe it took this long.

Can't see the point in going to all that effort to unlock an out of date
phone / toy.

Well I can see the point. If someone has worked out how to unlock it
then no doubt there is money to be made!
