iPhone 2 hacked before release
Toymaker Apple's attempts to lock in iPhone users with its new iPhone 2.0 have already been defeated. The iPhone Dev Team has worked out how to hack into the iPhone's bootloader.
The hack takes advantage of the way the iPhone authorizes code that can be written to memory. This means that it will be possible to allow any applications that haven't been authorized by Apple to run on the iPhone.
According to News.com, the hacking community believes this jailbreaking method, which will also let you unlock your iPhone, can't be fixed by Apple in a production version of the 2.0 software. Many are wondering why Apple is trying to keep up its control freak, one-carrier, one-country only applications blessed by Steve Jobs's policy.
It seems to be wasting a lot of time and resources, while hackers just undo its work days afterward.

Another Apple problem. Now why does this happen? Firstly, you come up with a good product. Many people love its features and design.
Secondly, you give it a reasonable price. approx 800SGD (through certain means).
Third, you try to make it some sort of "elite" product by introducing a one-carrier only policy, and introducing apps that work only in one country.
What do you get?
There you go. A fist clenching bunch people waiting to tear at you. Do you really think you can avoid hackers in such a situation?
Look at all popular game consoles. Expensive, fun to play. Hacked
Computer games. Expensive, fun to play. Hacked
Applications (like photoshop). Expensive, useful. Hacked
Look at popular games reasonably priced (orange box). Hacked, but people buy original.
Look at software like antiviruses (refering only to CERTAIN brands). Hacked, but reasonably priced, people buy it.
Why make your good product exclusive? Are we yet again proliferating elitism? Share them with the people. It's a good innovation which is reasonably priced (the latter, at LAST). Why make it exclusive? Go on invite hackers to your doorstep then.
Wonder when apple'd give up =p
