George Hotz, the teenager who unlocked
Apple's
iPhone from
AT&T's
network, will receive a new sports car after signing a deal with a US "
aftermarket" mobile phone company.
Hotz will drive away in his Nissan 350Z later today after a presentation at
CertiCell's
headquarters in Kentucky.
Hotz revealed last week that he had developed a process for
untethering
the iPhone from the AT&T network, allowing the device to work on other
GSM compatible networks.
Such unlocked phones can be used in Europe where mobile networks are
predominately GSM.
"On 27 August Hotz and Certicell jointly announced an agreement for the
famous iPhone and the related unlocking technology," Certicell said in a
statement.
"As part of the transaction, Hotz agreed to a consulting agreement with the
company. In exchange, Hotz will receive a new Nissan 350Z along with three new
iPhones."
Certicell said that it will make a "formal announcement" on 14 September
concerning its intentions for the iPhone.
