  • Making the case for an unlocked iPhone

    Posted July 9, 2008 - 11:57 am

    Now that the iPhone 3G is upon us, I thought it would be a good time to discuss the fact that an unlocked iPhone is probably best for everyone.

But as for me, I don’t understand the logic and actually believe it’s a foolhardy notion with no basis in reality. Here’s why:

    A Trojan horse program that has been around for about six years is now being used to steal system-administrator passwords, including those at banking and brokerage houses, according to security researchers. And it could be that six years from now we'll still be talking about Microsoft's aim to buy Yahoo's search business, which could involve obtaining the entire company and breaking it apart.

    As I was considering what to write about today, I started looking around my office. Over in the corner, I noticed a cell phone that dates back at least five years.
