(4points) A New Jersey teenager has figured out to make Apple’s iPhone available on other wireless services besides AT&T, removing a major frustration for thousands of consumers. In an CNBC, 17-year old George Hotz revealed his motivation for unlocking the device. “It was fun! This was a good use of the summer holiday”, he said during a live interview Friday afternoon. “I became obsessed with unlocking this thing”. When Apple introduced the iPhone 3G in July, it made the device available only on AT&T’s wireless service, prompting widespread complaints among consumers Hotz was able to unlock the device so that he can use it on his family’s T-Mobile service. Although T-Mobile is the only other service besides AT&T’s that is compatible with the implement in the U.S, overseas users are likely to find their services compatible.
