Did you hear about the teenager who hacked an iPhone and traded it for a car?

I guess that’s reason #1 I wasn’t in line for an iPhone - all it took was a 17 year old to hack into the phone and unlock it so that you can use it with networks other than AT&T. That doesn’t inspire a whole lot of confidence in the iPhone. George Hotz traded the modified phone for a car and 3 8GB iPhones. The project took him 500 hours - he’s been working on it for about 8 hours a day since he got the iPhone. Not bad for a summer job - I’m betting most teenagers can’t work enough over the course of a single summer to get a new car out of the deal!
