Chris Cantell Discusses Technologies: Teen trades hacked iPhone for new car by Notme dfsfs

Buddies of George Hotz, the teen that hacked the iPhone, should take their words back. They didn't thought when they said that he lost his summer doing nothing that the curly haired teen would prove them that it wasn't all for nothing. Now he traded the unlocked iPhone for "a sweet Nissan 350Z and 3 8GB iPhones."Hotz reached a deal with CertiCell, a mobile-phone repair company based in Louisville, Ky., founded by Terry Daidone and offered him a consulting job too.He said he will be sending the three iPhones, "unlocked if they wish," to the online collaborators who helped him unlock the device.Hotz posted the news on his blog http://iphonejtag.blogspot.com, and wrote that Terry Daidone, the founder of CertiCell, a mobile phone repair company, contacted him and offered to make a trade for the modified iPhone.A spokesman for CertiCell, Jake Ducey confirmed the arrangement and said the company thought snapping up the piece of cellphone history would stir up publicity and business."We've been pretty much blowing up ever since it happened," he said.Terry Daidone said in a statement on the company's website: "We are keenly interested in having Mr. Hotz assist our engineers in developing solutions to other software-related challenges, including software updating, reflashing and memory elimination of repaired and or refurbished cellular handsets."
