A California man, Timothy Smith, has filed a lawsuit against Apple in a Santa Clara County Superior court, accusing the company of turning his unlocked iPhone into useless piece of electronics.
In court papers filed by Smith's attorney Damian Fernandez, it is alleged that Apple is violating California's antitrust laws.
Smith argues in court papers filed Friday and made available at InfoWeek Apple is in violation of California's Cartwright Act because "Apple prohibits iPhone consumers from using and purchasing a cell phone service other than through AT&T."
The case may also hinge on a clause in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that Fernandez interprets to mean a carrier-subsidized phone can be unlocked 90 days after purchase.

In what already has Apple stock moving up because of the overseas impact this could have, a NJ teen has broken the lock that ties Apple's iPhone to AT&T's wireless network, freeing the most hyped cell phone ever for use on the networks of other carriers, including overseas ones.
George Hotz, 17, confirmed Friday that he had unlocked an iPhone and was using it on T-Mobile's network, the only major U.S. carrier apart from AT&T that is compatible with the iPhone's cellular technology.
While the possibility of switching from AT&T to T-Mobile may not be a major development for U.S. consumers, it opens up the iPhone for use on the networks of overseas carriers.

First of all, I'm amazed at just how many people covered the Jobs-Gates session from All Things D earlier this week. Business, technology, pop culture, even political outlets took their turn dissecting the exchange.
Here is an excerpt from The Huffington Post where Arianna get advice from Steve Jobs himself on how to get an iPhone faster when they begin selling...
Talking to Steve Jobs after his speech, I got a hot tip on how to be one of the first people to score a new iPhone when they go on sale in June. "Don't go to an Apple store," Jobs told me. "It will be a madhouse there. People will be lined up around the block, sleeping on the sidewalk to get one. Go to an AT&T/Cingular store. Most people don't know that they will be selling them too." - Huffington Post [link]]]>
