Sorry, we'd love to help out, and fully support the free unlock effort, but we'd be sacrificing our journalistic integrity in a huge way to give our licenses earmarked for the contest to a "competing" hacking team, after receiving them in good faith from iPhoneSIMfree. We hope you'll understand, and wish the iPhone Dev Team the best of luck!
while i understand and that makes complete sense..., I do notice that alot of the time whenever someone complains about a certain slant on engadget they are promptly reminded of that fact it's not journalism, but rather a blog, and thus allowed to be slanted.
again, I get it, but the line in the sand seems to move...
The site itself is a blog, but it still acts in a journalistic capacity. Additionally, this is akin to a newspaper not giving up sources - there's no true reason not to, but if you betray one person's trust, no one else will trust you again.
HP's Jon Rubenstein told us that his company wanted to veer in a new direction, and veer it surely did -- the HP Veer 4G will arguably be the smallest fully-functional smartphone on the market when it goes on sale May 15th.

Engadget, how about taking one for the team and donating a license to the Dev Team?

That would be very funny scenario. Haha. But sadly I agree they shouldn't do it as it would many bridges which makes this site awesome.
