tuaw.com — A spokesman for the iPhone Dev Team, the group that developed the iPhone unlock has issued a statement condemning Apple and promising a tool in the next week which will restore your iPhone to a factory-fresh state. The unlock, he writes, made the iPhone free and useful world-wide, not just in certain countries. Read the full statement at tuaw.com

I've installed updated DVD firmware on my Pioneer. It came from the Pioneer site. Technically, they had only a Windows installer, so I used hacker stuff for the Mac. It worked fine. However, if it had bricked the DVD player/recorder, would Pioneer have fixed it for me? Given me a new one? Maybe, because it was their firmware code that screwed up. If I have gone to Joe Hacker's site, and tried his hack that gave it more abilities, like a faster write speed, would Pioneer have replaced the bricked recorder? Don't think so.The FCC has said that unlocking a phone is legal, but charging for the software to do it isn't. And I don't think Apple has any alternative to voiding warranties when you hack the software, because they're not in control. Now, should they release a "software development kit"? Yes. But will they void warranties when you hack it to another carrier? Yep.

Totally agree_I go buy a car from a Chevrolet dealership - they aren't forcing me to goto ONLY Shell to fill my gas tank_ They aren't forcing me to goto ONLY Goodyear when I need new tires_Do you know how many heads would roll if this crap played out in the automotive industry ?

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about and have never read a NEW car's warranty before. Any aftermarket electronics will void the warranty because you're changing from the intended power consumption and thereby not using the car as it was designed for normal use. Call up an automotive audio installation store and ask them if putting in an amp and some speakers will void the warranty on a new Mustang if you don't believe me. They'll install it, but will warn you to have them take it back out before you go get your car worked on by the dealer (if needed) while on warranty because it breaks the warranty agreement. Now give my digg back, you f**king retard.

This is still dumb, "Their" property is pretty straight forward on what they are saying,"Yea, you pay for the iPhone,but we control what you do with it whether you like it or not."How many times do you really need to update?? 2.2 is working great, what more could you need on your iphone??? Apple needs to just shutup and enjoy the money their bringing home of the sales of the iPhone.
