Found Footage: How not to create a product video

Who really cares about the quality? They claim to have unlocked it, and I'm quite happy to believe them until someone proves otherwise. The quality of the video doesn't bother me: it's not a huge company, it's a couple of guys working in a bedroom somewhere.

The fact that it's been unlocked can only be a good thing, regardless of quality of the unlocking video.

You guys are confusing GeoHotz accomplishments with hardware unlocking with this (iphoneunlocking) alleged software unlock. IPhonesimfree has their own unlock software that's been validated by engadget.

Chris, I think the guys from iphonesimfree are russian, which the NJ kid mentioned.. could be them. another note.. once the hack is released, what's to stop a crack from following it? their best bet is to release it now, while all this hype exist, rather than have the dev team or someone else release it for free.

I was listening to NPR the other day, when the kid from NJ announced he hacked the iPhone. He said that he was working with a team of people but split from them after they decided to try and sell it. My guess is that this "company" are his former partners in crime.

Crappy video, impressive that they unlocked it.

@Daimos, The thing I think is most disappointing is that a lot of the mainstream media, especially IDG (Macworld) and even the NYT, are buying into it and reporting as fact that AT&T lawyers have approached this loser.

I feel less worried getting my news from blogs now. They may not be as well trained journalists, but they do seem to demonstrate more critical thinking.

Ugh, I'm dizzy and nauseated now...

Look at how many different charges that battery is at throughout the video

People go and spend 650$ on a fabulous product only to go hacking into it. People just can't be satisfied. It's really sad.

@ Kai
Your assuming I am in the US??

BTW, the comments I made were more in regards to sensationalist journalism rather than the finer points of the legality of phone unlocking :-)
