George Hotz is Hot Stuff in the world of Wireless

If the name George Hotz doesn't ring a bell, and if you've never heard of his blog "FINDING JTAG ON THE IPHONE," then you've been asleep at the wheel for the past week.

1 clue: unlocked iPhone.

This guy is making some serious headlines.

Hey George, interested in a job at T-Mo? : )

Something makes me think George doesn't need a job.

iPhone Weekend One: 700,000 Sold, $200million+ Profit For Apple

Since I trumpeted the iPhone's iClog problems for AT&T's network, it only makes sense that I at least reference this TechCrunch article.

Check out Duncan's details here: iPhone Weekend One: 700,000 Sold, $200million+ Profit For Apple.

iClog: IPhone Users Clogging Up AT&T's Edge Network

Wired's Eliot Van Buskirk reports yesterday,

New iPhone owners had to deal with activation delays as they registered their phones on AT&T's network, but AT&T's growing pains didn't stop there. Yesterday, AT&T's Edge network apparently failed completely in some areas of the country, leaving iPhone owners and other Edge network users without data services -- including web browsing, email, and that all-important YouTube access.

Guess AT&T wasn't quite ready to unleash iPhone users on the network.

Hey, even Superman had his Kryptonite.

No iPhone? No sweat.

Steve Jobs predicts that Apple will sale 10 million iPhones worldwide by the end of next year.

He may be right.

But one thing is for certain - once the initial supply comes out June 29th, you're sure to have a hard time getting your hands on one.

So Dan Frommer (Tech Reporter @ Forbes.com) did you a favor today by releasing his nine alternatives to the iPhone.

Dan's a pretty tech-savvy guy, and I think his list does justice to the other phones available to tech-savvy users. What the heck, I'll say it - Dan's a genius (I'm just glad he was smart enough to include T-Mo's Wing in his list).

Thanks Dan.

Now, here's a peek at his list of iPhone alternatives...click this Forbes.com link.

More Views On The iPhone (MobHappy.com)

Views from those "who know" are worth the read: (from MobHappy.com)

Obviously the big story of the day is still the iPhone. In addition to Russell’s thoughts and my own, plenty of folks are weighing in. Interestingly, there seems to be a trend developing — picking out plenty of flaws, but ending with “I still want one.”

• Mike Rowehl: “The mobile gardens have been tending toward unwalling, and unfortunately this sounds a bit like a move in the other direction. I hope I’m wrong. Really hope I’m wrong. Cause I know I’m going to have to get one of these things either way.”
• Kelly Goto: “I feel Apple’s unique and stunning UI along with smart features such as the portrait to landscape switch and the proximity sensor to turn ‘off’ touch screen sensitivity when the device is held close to one’s face will win over the crowd. But with the higher price point ($499 for the 4 GB and $599 for the 8 GB) it’s definitely got to deliver.”
• Tom Hume: “I’m with Ive: it’s “not too shabby” and all that, and my now-Pavlovian responses to any product Apple releases are telling me I want one, but I don’t see this as meaningfully impacting on the mass market (other than giving a slight kicking to other handset vendors). As such it’s more of a decent PDA than a phone, in my book.”
• Raddedas at Techype: “Apple have created a niche product here with amazing appeal - to the niche. At the risk of upsetting the Silicon Valley types racing round on their Segways between hip coffee houses to brainstorm about how this will change everything (using free metropolitan WiFi and their suddenly not-so-cool Palm Treos to take notes), what the iPhone won’t do is change the world.”
• Ewan MacLeod: “All I need to say is look at the N95, the pinnacle of Nokia’s engineering prowess. Stick it next to the iPhone. It just doesn’t compare. Symbian and the N95 just isn’t in the same stratosphere.”
• Matt Croydon: “There are a few things that excite me about the newly announced iPhone (and a few details that I’m unclear on). One thing I’m pretty sure of is that the coming of the iPhone is the tipping point for a new kind of mobile web.”
