Filed under: Rumors, Software, Hacks, Open Source, iPhoneSo as you may have seen on some other sites, there was a little bit of drama today around the iPhone unlock program written (in part) by our own Erica Sadun. Lots of rumors are flying around, and lots of folks have it almost right.

Sounds like another fine example of the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory proving true.

IF This is the same user that comes to our chat channel in #vbfans, he's been talking about iPhone unlocking for a while, and bragging about how rich he is and how much iPhones he has, etc. He's there as haRRo, 23, uk too. His profile is here: [www.vbulletin-fans.com] with a link to his IM details and his web site. I never trust users who brag like that, and this article here just shows that I might have been right.

YouTube worked just fine for me after I unlocked my iPhone. But mine had already been activated with a new AT&T (prepaid) account beforehand, so it might still be using those settings.

A friend wants me to help him buy and unlock an iPhone today (withtou opening an AT&T account), so we'll see if YouTube works without any additional fiddling...

One thing that was nice when I inserted my T-Mobile SIM: all my EDGE and voicemail settings were correct right away, without needing to enter anything manually on the iPhone.

I call BULLSH*T.

Sasha was attempting to get HaRRo to NOT publicly release the app and sell it. Promising HaRRo could make millions of dollars.

Sasha is just a little miffed they weren't able to exploit anyone.

"100% automatic and fully legal (which means that it won't include any copyrighted code from Infineon, AT&T or Apple.)"

Is the current manual method out there illegal?
