Teen trades hacked iPhone for 'sweet' car - GoFuckYourself.com

SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- The teenage hacker who managed to unlock the iPhone so that it can be used with cellular networks other than AT&T will be trading his reworked gadget for a new car.

George Hotz, of Glen Rock, New Jersey, said he had reached the deal with CertiCell, a Louisville, Kentucky-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.

cartelcash_roupen · 08-28-2007, 07:35 PM

gandalfuy · 08-28-2007, 08:28 PM

well done!

What an idiot...

He could have sold the information and made millions.

Not a bad deal for a singular iphone though. He can make more.

should have went this route.

siccmade · 08-28-2007, 08:50 PM

Is this not illegal?

Go hack anything else and you'll have your ass a lawsuit.

I'm waiting for Apple to take the kids car and his wages from that job he landed once they sue his ass.

You don't think being 17 and spending 8 hours a day playing with a phone is kind of ridiculous?

Nice trade off, I'd say

Teenager A spends eight hours per day breaking his back loading trucks or working construction in the hot sun. At the end of the summer, he has skin cancer and a used Pinto.

Teenager B sits in his air-conditioned house eight hours per day hacking an iPhone. At the end of the summer, he has moderate national fame, a new 350Z, a cushy job waiting for him, and three new iPhones.

It's amazing to me that people would think Teenager B is the one who did the wrong thing.

what an idiot, why would you want a car over a nice sum of money?

Mr. Websites · 08-29-2007, 12:40 PM

I can practically see him regretting this decision down the road.
Assuming the car is $35,000 - he still pocketed $70 per hour.

tony286 · 08-29-2007, 12:41 PM

I think even with the cool car he still wont get laid. lol
