iPhone On Other Networks: 5 Years Or 5 Days?
According to this article on PC World, it will only be a matter of days before the iPhone gets hacked to let subscribers of other networks use it. PC World says:
“We believe it will be easy. We are privately aware many of the iPhone engineers came from other handset manufacturers, and we understand their design techniques fairly well,” said gj, speaking in an interview conducted using IRC (Internet Relay Chat). He requested that his real name not be used.
“Easy to us means inside one week,” he said, offering an estimate of three to seven days.
Unlocking the iPhone means users will be able to use the handset with other service providers, not just AT&T Inc., which has an exclusive deal to sell the phone in the U.S.
Meanwhile, other whispers say that Apple are preparing to fund a brand new mobile phone network.
