Apple finally weighs in on iPhone hacks, unlocking {Engadget Mobile}
Sep 24th 2007 11:34PM JDOG sorry but you suck big time bro !!! Same thing for your arguments.
When you a cellphone full retail the carrier MUST give you an unlock code.
I asked ATT and Apple but they are so greedy that non of them could provide me with an unlock code. So I unlock myself my iPhone.

The Engadget Interview: Phil Schiller, Apple Senior VP of Worldwide Product Marketing {Engadget}
Sep 6th 2007 9:51PM Apple is just a company with a big mouth leaded by 50 something that don't have any ideas of it needed to market a proper GSM phone/smartphone:
- The first element is unlocking, it must be obligatory. When you're paying a device $599 you expect to be able to use it with any prepaid SIM card.
- The ringtone feature is BIG BS !!! You already own CD and after that you have to pay to make your own ringtone !!! Are you kidding me ? Just go to phonezoo.com to make it happen freely on any cell or smartphone and voila you have your ringtone on your cell/smartphone.
- You need to support third party application and not WEB 2.0. I'm pretty sure Steve Jobs had a b**er while showing facebook and what ? It is only a website application !!! They must start quickly develop third party application.
- Reducing the price of $200 is a big move and you'll have many user pissed at Apple. For me this price reduction only shows the world that Apple didn't match its expectations for the iPhone.
Right now I'm pissed at the Apple and I just can't wait the new Nokia N95 (US specs)
Uniquephones's iPhone unlock release 'slowed' by AT&T lawyers {Engadget Mobile}
Aug 25th 2007 1:41PM Yep I think there solution is not ready. Because they're living outside the US especially in a country where it is legal to unlock cellphone they have nothing to worry about. AT&T doesn't have power in the UK.
So it looks like they are late and the lawyer story was their only excuse of being late.

Google bringing internet to Nigeria {Engadget}
Feb 9th 2006 12:44PM Very bad idea. Do you remember the Brazilian bank which went bankrupt because a nice Nigerian sent a scam email ?
They are on the web just to send scam and try to steal money. Also just look at how many nice web site you can find in Nigeria about bombing, terrorist acts and so on. You won't be disappointed believe me...
You don't believe me ? Ok just put an ad on eBay or Craigslist for a car you have for sale or for a high end cellphone. Wait few hours and you will receive strange emails starting with "Good day sir (...)". They will s*** you very fast. It happened to one of my very best friend. He lost $5K !!!
So in conclusion this politic is good for PR point of view, the rich Google is helping the poor african country. Remember Google is not an evil company ? They don't think about consequences. The Nigerian government won't move its finger if you lose $5K or sometime higher amount of money. They will send you an email saying : "too bad for you"...
The right thing to do ? Firewall the US from any emails coming from this country where thieves are kings.
