George Hotz, if that is his real name, headed up a team of hackers that figured out how to unlock an iPhone and operate it using a regular T Mobile sim card.

The hack is supposedly easy to replicate and the directions are being given out freely. What has George gained from the 500 hours of work that he and others put into this?

He made a recent blog post announcing that he is trading the original unlocked iPhone for a Nissan 350z automobile and 3 iPhones. The founder of a wireless aftermarket company is getting the iPhone.
