We’ve got a number of tip-offs via e-mail (tips [at] technoessence [dot] com) and it looks like that the iPhone has been jailbreaked, and 3rd party apps are now loadable onto the two devices. Just for clarification, does this mean that it can be unlocked, or have Apple used further security measures?

And reports that the iPhone has indeed been unlocked with v1.1.1 are somewhat true, albeit the fact that it’s supposed to take 5 hours. -Ed

But for anyone in the U.S.A. this is great. So basically, it’s all systems go, and the debate over the latest iPhone update will allow the phone to be unlocked, even though Apple said that they would try not to interfere.-Ed

Also Note: This is an announcement on Apple Inc releasing iPhones for the Irish Market, not the iPhone being able to work on an Irish Market. iPhones have been unlocked, but this article is an announcement on the iPhone officialy being announced by Apple INc in Ireland.

As Steve Jobs announced the new iPod touch, thinner than the iPhone, but exact same design, and the iPod classic, with the new iPod nano, somebody’s spilled the beans at the Apple Factory in Hollyhill, located in Cork City, because the iPhone’s coming by Christmas, if not in the next three weeks. Hush, the phone has Vod More…
