iPhone activation cracked by DVD Jon





iPhone activation cracked - but not like this!iPhone hack and tweakery continues apace, with DVD Jon turning his loathing of all things locked to bear on the AT&T-hugging handset. He's found a way to emulate the iTunes server, taking a brand-new and never previously activated iPhone and fooling it into working.

So far it's operating as a web-browser over WiFi and as an iPod - no calling - but I'm sure there are busy beavers (not literally beavers, unless they're very well trained) looking at unlocking cellular functionality too. Jon gives some cryptic instructions for trying it yourself, but given the possibility of breaking your shiny new toy it might be better to view this as a proof of concept (and work in progress, in fact) more than anything else.
