iPhone Unlocked

According to the latest update at the iPhone Dev wiki, work on hacking the iPhone continues apace. Forward progress yesterday was slow, but they did manage to rule out a number of dead ends. Their current focus is getting the iPhone to load a modified disk image, which will allow them to run their own code on the system. They are also working on some hardware level hacking to try and unlock the radio directly.

This intense focus all ready has had tangible costs for one of the hackers who report:
