British company says its close to unlocking iPhone

Rating: delighted

Uniquephones, a UK firm that specialises in unlocking mobile phones says its close to developing an application that would allow iPhone owners to use the device with carriers other than America’s AT&T. Yippee. Apple has sold almost 3 million iPhones in a week and if I never, ever have to use Microsoft software on a mobile again, it won’t be a minute too soon.

If it succeeds, I hope Uniquephones makes a huge profit and I want an unlocked iPhone asap.
