Over at the Hackint0sh forums, a couple of people decided to unlock their iPhone, little did they know, opening their phone after completing the software, was not such a great idea. At least they now have a door stop, brick, frisbee, and tons of other useful tasks.
We were so happy, all the software part was done, so we started opening the iphone. The antenna cover was a bit tricky but eventually it came off. Then we started to open the metal cover (after taking out the 3 screws) and PUFF, up it went in smoke, I think my collegue must have touched something. It literally went up in black smoke. I was so hot that when I tried to pick it up I burnt my fingers. So, this is for sure the most difficult part of the whole process. I don’t know what he did, as I had just stepped out of the room to fetch something when I heard a scream…they got such a fright.

What’s more, T-Mobile provides actively for the iPhone in Austria, but the chain plans to sell them completely unlocked.
There are no real details as to why this small chain is allowed to sell unlocked iPhones, and the only information is available in German on Penny Markt’s website. This is the first time the iPhone has been available in the country, outside of personal imports.

Tekkeon is introducing a new set of cases for the iPhone, ranging from $29.95 to $32.95. There’s three cases, one is a leather sleeve, one is a wallet case with a strap, and lastly, a flip-case with a removable clip, business card pocket, and a non magnetic closure. Check out Tekkeon’s website, or read on through the press release for details.
Tekkeon’s new hard case with soft touch for iPhone provides the durability of rubber or silicone without the bulk. This sleek case wraps around the iPhone and includes a flip up, transparent protective cover that shields the touchscreen while enabling quick access. Available in a variety of colors, this new case for iPhone includes a removable belt clip.

Flip case with removable clip, business/credit card pocket, and a non-
magnetic closure
Because the closure on the flip and wallet case is not magnetic, it will not interfere with operation of the iPhone.
“The removable flip screen and soft feel makes Tekkeon’s new hard case with soft touch a unique case for iPhone,” says Jerry Yang, president of Tekkeon, Inc. “This is true for each of our cases in which we’ve included convenient features that you don’t find with most iPhone cases.”
The MSRP for Tekkeon’s cases for iPhone ranges from $29.95 to $32.95. Tekkeon products are available through major on-line stores, and from the Tekkeon store at www.tekkeon.com.
