iPhone 2.0? Hacked!

So you were wondering if Apple was going to spread an extra thick layer of security over the new version 2.0 of the iPhone software?  You know - to keep the 1,000,000 unlocked versions from being updated and from being customers at the App Store?

Yeah, we didn't think so.  iPhone 2.0 is already hacked.  Version 3 and 4, though just twinkles in Apple's eye?  Cracked too.

The whole "security" thing?  Kinda a joke at this point.  Apple must really need those unlocked iPhone sales to hit its goals.

The real issue for Apple is that they are getting a bad rep from a security standpoint - which will seriously hurt them in the enterprise.

Seriously, Apple.  Just open up the iPhone to all carriers already.

The iPod Touch is the real "trojan horse" here. It won't be long - several years perhaps - when the carrier will be inconsequential as long as one has high speed wireless internet access. Phone and all other features (hmm, like video conferencing from handset when apple includes iSight on the front of the Touch, and anything else developers can dream-up) will be carrier independent at that point.

They are just biding their time until someone can deliver the goods on a ubiquitous high speed wireless technology. The traditional wireless telephone carrier services (and their control) will be a thing of the past sooner rather than later.

Amen.  We sure hope so but aren't betting the farm on those Telecoms dying so easily.

Agreed, they won't die but I believe they will be forced to change their traditional models or go the way of the dinosaur.

Love the Ovaltine decoder ring ... What was the decoded secret on "A Christmas Story"? ... something like "buy Ovaltine" (I mean, buy iPhone).
