Yesterday, Gizmodo posted a video (no embeded version) of them using the iPhoneSimFree unlock software. It seems pretty convincing that at least the software unlock application exists and it’s pretty straightforward to apply the unlock. Engadget also weighed in on this latest chapter although they seem to point out that this is a demo of…
Wow…what a bombshell this morning! The new ‘iDevices’ are pretty impressive….and the implications are pretty far reaching. The biggest thing for me was the price cut of the iPhone from $599 to $399 (USD) for the 8gb iPhone. This has to be one of the fastest price cuts in Apple history for a new product…
Still kinda sketchy and hard to tell since it was shot with a Nokia N95. Not exactly definitive proof but promising nonetheless. Check out the blog post from iphoneunlocking.com. Now if someone would just release/offer for sale the unlock….
Engadget broke the story early this morning that iphonesimfree.com had managed to develop a software only unlock method to allow you to use any carrier’s SIM card with the iPhone.

Apple is now selling refurbished iPhones…save $100 before you hack it! Unfortunately (and as expected) this doesn’t appear to be available on the Canadian Apple Store.
Last week a new method of ‘unlocking’ the iPhone to use it with any mobile carrier emerged. Using something called a Turbo SIM (which costs $80US), it tricks the iPhone into thinking it’s using an AT&T sim card while actually using your sim card of choice. How does it do this? You need to trim…
The 2007 BarCamp Vancouver is over and it was a lot of fun. This was my first BarCamp and wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Friday night was the ‘bar’ part of BarCamp which comes before the main event all day Saturday. Got to meet and talk to a ton of cool people, some of…
Shaun Inman has posted a great tutorial on how to hack your iPhone so that you can easily install third party apps, play around with the NES emulator, take screenshots and generally do things that were never intended on your iPhone. Shaun has done an amazing job describing every step and linking all the necessary…
