iPhone 3GS 05.11.07 baseband unlocked - to be released Nov 4th
The cat and mouse game between Apple continues... George Hotz aka geohot, creator of blackra1n and the original iPhone jailbreaker/unlocker (before the days of the iPhone Dev Team) has made an announcement that he has successfully unlocked the latest 'unjailbreakable' baseband aka 05.11.07. From his site:
I have an unlock for 05.11.07. I will be releasing on 11/04/09, for $0.00First off, Jody Sanders, I am declining your $10,000. Why? Because you, and the rest of the iPhone unlock sites out there are scum. You make money selling freeware; that's not cool, and I am in no way going to legitimize it.
Seriously, the people who really lose here are the customers. These sites are full of blatant lies, claiming to have unlocks for 05.11.07 People buy them, and are told the unlock is in development, and the release date is unknown. Imagine you bought a cup of coffee and were told it's in development? Recently, many of these sites sent out e-mails saying they made major breakthroughs and the unlock will be ready 11/04/09. Coincidence that that's the release date of blacksn0w?
