iPhone unlocked as expected

Some words like "locked", "protected", "security" most probably sound like a challenge or an invitation for some people. Mostly for those who have the incredible gift of curiosity and talent to reverse-engineer, hack or completely know in-depth details of any of the products available on the market today without any training, just figuring it out for themselves.
Sometimes a single piece of knowledge is all that is needed to trigger a long series of discoveries and events. This seems to happen quite often, where a community with a goal is benefited with an event that changes the landscape, like I think happened this last days, where a group of teens posted a step-by-step tutorial to unlock the iPhone by combining some hardware and software tecniques. Few hours later the all-software unlock appeared on the web. Now lots of companies offer unlocked iPhones!
Just think about the consequences of this acts for a minute. What will happen with the Apple shares? What about At&T, the company that has the exclusive benefit to suck into all the iPhone user's pockets in the U.S.? What will happen in Europe where the product has not been released yet? Will O2 still agree on the deal with Apple over the iPhone? What about the life of the kids who discovered this? New jobs? What about Steve Jobs? :-D
These and other questions come to my mind when thinking about what happened this week. The more I read the more I want to read, even after being 8 hours at work in front of 2 computers. Shame on me, how would I ever get fit? Yeah, I know.. I'm a bloody geek.
