iPhone Dev Team to Open Source Free Unlock

Posted by Zonk on from the free-as-in-iphone-is-a-little-odd-to-say dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In an effort to keep up with changes from Apple at a faster speed, the iPhone Dev Team is considering open sourcing AnySIM, the free unlocking solution for the iPhone. In a chat with Gizmodo, iPhone Dev Team member Sam said that this move could 'open a lot of possibilities for the future,' mainly in terms of the speed of the updates and avoiding sloppy and possibly dangerous binary patches. They are now looking for community input to get the project started."

    Either the supply is low, or the demand is high. I would say that the supply of the 80GB Zunes has been limited so that the "news" articles can hype "it's sold out".

    I completely fail to see how this is newsworthy. I mean we get automatically noticed of Firefox updates, so why oh why post about a minor update on the front page of Slashdot?
