You knew that it was only a matter of time. A hacker in Norway has claimed to have bypassed the Apple iPhone security to use the internet and music features:
“In a post dated July 3 on his blog, Jon Johansen, 23, a prolific hacker of consumer electronics gadgets since he was a teenager in Norway, said “I’ve found a way to activate a brand new unactivated iPhone” without signing up for AT&T service.”

This is the hacker who is known as ‘DVD Jon’ and who bypassed DVD movie security. Perhaps someone should think of offering Jon a legitimate job, although I doubt whether he is so inclined.
