Hacking, Lawsuits - “Free the iPhone!”
08.28.07 - 01:20pm
The whole iPhone being hacked so that it can be used on services other than AT&T’s is rapidly turning into a media frenzy rivaling that of when Paris Hilton was in jail and now a lawsuit has been added to the mass hysteria.
(Free the iPhone!)(Free Paris!)(whoops - Free the iPhone!)
No one really seems to care too much about using the iPhone on another service here except of course those who want to siphen off their parents family, already paid for, T-mobile plan and all those folks on the east coast where AT&T service can be a bit spotty - okay maybe there is a few people who want to ditch AT&T, but irregardless the main reason so many want the iPhone unlocked is to that they can use it when traveling in other countries and not receive a $2000 bill such as Herbert Kliegerman did when he spent seven days in Mexico.
The iPhone is already riddled with lawsuits alleging patent infringement (and still not on the market) and now one more is on the verge of being to be added to the list. It is with Quantum Research, a company that filed a lawsuit against Apple in 2005 regarding patent violations concerning sensor technology in the iPod click wheel device. Quantum Research says it is prepared to file another one regarding the iPhone’s touch screen technology, should it infringe on their technology as it appears to from descriptions.
