Unlocking a Crime...

I have commented before on the concept of the locked phone, but today Michal Lev-Ram offers additional information on the increasing habit of iPhone owners to "break the lock" that makes iPhones AT&T "only" phones.

While I'm not sure that I would take a soldering iron to something that I just paid $600 for, I definitely see the interest of those who would want freedom of choice for an unsubsidized phone. Perhaps Apple can persuade AT&T to either start subsidizing the iPhone or they can convince AT&T to free the iPhone?

Then again Steve Jobs hasn't exactly been successful with the DMCA in regards to iTunes either....
