Outright selling of iPhone unlocking software would probably be shut down immediately by ATT lawyers.

I think people should just wait for an official supported iPhone for other carriers. You know its coming.

All apple would need to do is release a patch for their os which would allow say, a flash player or other nice update and disable this.

This hack (yes HACK meaning unsupported and not future proof) should be free.]]>Sep 3rd 2007 1:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/03/iphonesimfree-begins-fulfilling-bulk-orders-apparently-will-not/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/03/iphonesimfree-begins-fulfilling-bulk-orders-apparently-will-not/
That being said, I am going to wait this one out until the next firmware update. I don't want to drop $50 for a hack that only works for 2 weeks.

I am in south east Asia and I am thinking that there is no way in hell Apple can sell a SIM-locked phone here. There are no SIM-locked phones here, the concept doesn't exist. No subsidies either. There are, however, hordes of people willing to go into debt to own the latest and greatest phone (no, really.). So this would be a pretty big market to give up on, and I for one can't imagine Apple doing that.]]>Sep 3rd 2007 5:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/03/iphonesimfree-begins-fulfilling-bulk-orders-apparently-will-not/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/03/iphonesimfree-begins-fulfilling-bulk-orders-apparently-will-not/

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The reseller or his/her customer must install on the iphone our software, available by mail or through direct download from our site. This is a standard .app file and once installed on the iphone it will show up as a springboard icon on the main screen.

The reseller must log into our back office and enter the required data specific to that iphone (his license credit will be substracted).

Once done, the reseller or the customer must run the .app, which will communicate via the iphone wifi to our server. If the iphone has been registered, the software will proceed to unlock the iphone.

It is that easy! In the unlikely case of any problem happening, we have a 24/7 hotline to assist our resellers.

1. Someone else releases a working product at a lower price point

2. The software itself is hacked

3. Apple issues an update which voids the software (though this is less likely)
