The following graphic, proudly copied from a TechCrunch post, blowed up my mind: I was expecting a big success for Apple's iPhone, but not this kind of numbers, this is huge!

Apple, please open the iPhone
Posted by bordalix Tue, 18 Mar 2008 11:25:00 GMT
Dear Steve, you should sell the iPhones as you sell your computers: like an open plataform where anyone can install whatever application they want, with full responsability and without your paternal control.
This way, you will sell millions of iPhones worldwide, and will be doing what you do best: selling state-of-the-art hardware running a gorgeous, user friendly operating system.
Trying to gain from the mobile operators is buying a war you don't want (or need) to. Trying to gain from the developers community by restricting the free flow of creativity is wrong, and against the values of the Apple brand.
So, please, don't be greedy, change your mind, or they will force you.
iPhone unlock in 3 minutes

Finally, on the 8th of February, George Hotz (please donate) cracked the protection scheme used in the iPhone. In a matter of hours, a lot if scripts and applications arose in order to facilitate the job to the average joe.
Yesterday, a new tool hit the radar, and is now possible to unlock, jailbreak and activate iPhones 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 OTB in less than 3 minutes. So, if you are one in the million that have a locked iPhone, grab the ZiPhoneGUI tool (available only for windows) and happy cracking.
Unlocked iPhones for all

Via the International Herald Tribune, Apple choose Orange to be the exclusive seller of iPhones in France. So, what's new?
Due to French law prohibiting the forced bundling of mobile devices with a specific carrier, Apple and Orange will be required to sell an unlocked version of the iPhone.
So, my iPhone will be available in France starting next November, starting at €399, plus Orange contract and flight price. Can't wait.

The iPhone hype
Posted by bordalix Thu, 21 Jun 2007 12:39:00 GMT
The iPhone will debut a week from tomorrow, and everyone is getting crazy about it. According to a AT&T document, Apple and AT&T stores will close at 4:30 pm and then reopen at 6:00 p.m. to "set the store up for iPhone sales and prepare your staff for a successful sales event". The document also refers to "Crowd Controls Devices" that should be in place a week earlier.
Meanwhile, Engadget got access to some pictures of the possible iPhone dock, as of the new Apple bluetooth headset. Will people be able to buy this tomorrow? Nobody really knows, but everybody is expecting really hard.
The stock market is also going crazy. On one side, it seems highly sceptical about the iPhone launch, with Apple shares dropping almost 3% in the last two trading sessions. On the other side, rumours refer to a "40% premium on the Apple share price", and the past days saw the birth of a new rumour: could Google buy Apple?
In the mean time, Opera launched is new Opera mini, the next generation browser for cellphones. For the launch, they mimic the Apple worldwide known "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" campaign, with a comparison between the Opera mini and the iPhone. Come on guys, you can not compare software with hardware, the comparison is truly unfair. Could this mess be a result of the growing Opera Software internal problems?
As stated by the San Jose Mercury News, " There's hype, then there's iPhone hype".
iPhone Application List
Posted by bordalix Wed, 20 Jun 2007 16:46:00 GMT
After the WWDC 2007 people where complaining about the fact Safari being the de facto SDK for iPhone. I personally think it's a genius move. Here are the facts: 9 days before the iPhone launch there are already 22 applications in the iPhone Application List.Fan created iPhone ad
Posted by bordalix Wed, 06 Jun 2007 11:05:00 GMT
Update: another great ad, the iPhone New York.
Amazing, only 2 days after the true iPhone ad, without having an iPhone, this guy was able to create a great iPhone ad. Let the hype begin.
