Unlocked iPhone

While some are making interpations about Apple's lack of action with the news that the iPhone has been unlocked, I would like to point out the one reason Apple would care about the phone being unlocked. Apple wanted a lot of control over the device; partial Distribution rights, tech support, the right to update the phones... Little things like that. If the phone was opened to all carriers, then control (used for QA here it seems) would be lost; the phone could be sold without a data plan preventing automatic updates; Owners may not think about going to apple for support

We will have to see what Apple says once the hack is in the general public :-)
