The iPhone Dev Team are a clever bunch, they’ve released videos proving the iPhone 3G can be hacked to accept SIM cards from any network you like, and now they’re just days from releasing the tools needed to do it to the public.
A post on the hackers’ “official unofficial” blog says “we are just making sure that everything is OK, everything is tested and everything is safe,” before releasing it’s unlocking software on the web.
Explaining the feverish effort that has gone into unlocking Apple’s handset, the blog post stated: “5 days isn’t a long time in this type of technology area… but here we are almost at the end of a cutting edge distributed extreme-programming project with many hundreds of man hours already invested.”
“We are almost there,” the Dev Team says. “Those bugs are being swatted. Please fasten your seat-belts.”
