Who needs an iPhone, which seems to have more problems than it is worth, when you can have a brand new car…for free! A genius teenage hacker has been the only one to unlock the many secrets of the iPhone.
He unlocked the iPhone so that it can be used with cellular networks other than AT&T. Now that he has done that he is getting a reward. He will be trading his reworked gadget for a new car. George Hotz, of Glen Rock, N.J., said he had reached the deal with CertiCell, a Louisville, Ky., based mobile phone repair company.
Hotz posted on his blog that he traded his modified iPhone for “a sweet Nissan 350Z and 3 8GB iPhones.” “This has been a great end to a great summer,” Hotz wrote. The 17-year-old Hotz said he will be sending the three new iPhones to the three online collaborators who helped him divorce Apple Inc’s popular product from AT&T’s network. The job took 500 hours, or about 8 hours a day since the iPhone’s June 29 launch.
Hotz made the deal with Terry Daidone, co-founder of CertiCell, who also promised the teen a paid consulting job. “We do not have any plans on the table right now to commercialize Mr. Hotz’ discovery,” Daidone said in a statement.
This brilliant boy secrued his future in just two months and got everything he would ever want. A great car, a good job, and his 15 minutes of fame. Why aren’t we all so lucky!
