$100,000 offered to freely release iPhone unlocking software

via engadget

Hey, that's what they claim: $100,000 in cold hard cash for the right to freely distribute the iPhone unlocking software onto the Nets. Full credit given to the creator(s) of course with a proposed release date of Wed night at 12:00am (in some unspecified time zone). No details as to who is financial backing the offer or how payments will be made, only a single email address posted for discussing the details. Hear that UniquePhones and IPhoneSIMfree, here's your chance to make a buck and avoid a legal tussle with AT&T / Apple. Of course, anyone can launch a Blogspot site announcing pretty much anything they'd like. If nothing else, the move illustrates perfectly the demand for the software unlock to be released for general consumption. Let's hope it means more.

hasn't it been done?

hmm... $100,000? if it is true, it may be other phone companies that are paying for it, so that their customers can use the iPhone without having to deal with the ridiculously high at&t prices. allot of people would ditch at&t for that probably.

this thread is pointless
