Teen who hacked iPhone gets car for his efforts
The New Jersey teen who hacked the iPhone is going to get his wish - well, at least one of them. George Hotz, who last week found a way to manipulate Apple's new cell phone so that it will work on other networks besides AT&T's, is trading one of the two phones he hacked for a new car.
The teen said he is trading the iPhone to Terry Daidone, co-founder of CertiCell, a Louisville, Ky-based mobile phone repair company. In exchange, Daidone is going to buy him the car and will give him three brand new iPhones, which Hotz plans to hand out to members of his informal team that helped crack the iPhone. As part of the deal, Hotz will have a paid consulting job for CertiCell. He plans to visit the company's Kentucky offices later this week to demonstrate his iPhone hack in person.
