News DVD Jon cracks iPhone activation

http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2007/07/06/dvd_jon_cracks_iphone_activation/1

DVD Jon claims to have managed to unlock some of the iPhone's functionality without activating the device with AT&T.

 

this guy is a show off , hehe

 

Kinda getting tired of all the iPhone news everywhere >.>

 

We've deliberately steered clear of most of it

 

so one thing that I find amazing (unless i missed something) is the fact that DVD-Jon mannaged to get his paws on an iPhone, as far as I know he is from Norway.. did someone buy one in the states and ship it to him?

 

He probably got one off ebay.

 

Off subject anyone know if that new prada phone is any good ?

 

eBay bids are going real slow for iPhones.. Guess it wasn't that hot after all

 

About two days slow with the news on this one!
I think it's fine to do cracking as a hobby, and say how in the case of DVDs,
but I don't think this can be of much value to anyone.


H.B.

 

Why buy it on eBay when you can get it cheaper in Apple/AT&T stores?

 

the thing that steams my turkey is why the hell do these guys make cell phones exclusive to a certain network or launch it only in a certain part of the planet?

 

Why don't they just hire this guy ?

 

Money.

He's in California now.

Anyways, already bought mine. Activation was the most painful thing I've had to do yet (thanks, AT&T!), but it's done and shouldn't be something I have to worry about ever again. I'm waiting for third-party support, whether it's from hackers or Apple. And the rumors make it sound like it'll be from Apple eventually even if the hackers beat them to it in the short term; Apple just wanted to ensure the launch wasn't marred by homicidal apps. And I can't say I blame them, considering that they couldn't afford for the thing to flop.

That said, MobileSafari needs work - it's quite unstable, even if it crashes very gracefully. And it occasionally takes the iPod down with it, although that's quite a bit rarer. It's still miles ahead of any other mobile browser to date that I'm aware of, and the hardware and other software is absolutely fantastic. I expect Safari to get better with future updates (and I'm extremely confident that Flash support will come even if I don't care about it - iPhone users may have taken note of the "Plugins" toggle in Safari preferences of which we currently have none, among other reasons), which is part of the beauty of the touch-screen.

 

I played with one briefly today and it rocks. The screen obviously does show up fingerprints fairly noticeably after a while, but can be easily cleaned I suppose. If you can stomach the cost then it's an awesome phone.

 

I finally got an iPhone last week myself. It is so much easier to use than the Pocket PC phone I tried first. I can't use my Roboform on it, but that's ok I guess.

Does anyone know of a good dvd to iphone program? I found a number of reviews at http://videoconverterreviews.com/category/dvd-to-ipod/ but I don't know which one is really best.

 

I extract the DVD's with DVD Extracter and use handbrake to put them on the iPhone. Handbrake is seriously good and very very easy

 

God bless dvd jon. or Cap'n Long Jon Silver as pirates call him...
