Microsoft offers Geohot a job hacking Windows Phone 7
Microsoft has publicly extended its hand to iPhone and PS3 hacker George "GeoHot" Hotz after he recently expressed interest in trying to crack Microsoft's new Windows Phone platform.
After Hotz first showed his interest in the mobile platform through a short blog post earlier this week, Microsoft developer platform product manager Brandon Watson tweeted to Hotz with an offer to provide him with a free Windows Phone so he could "build cool stuff" on the platform.
"Let dev creativity flourish," Watson added. A Microsoft spokesperson told CNet that Hotz has been in contact with Watson since that tweet to discuss obtaining a phone and working with the company.
