SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The teenage hacker who managed to unlock the IPhone 
so that it can be used with cellular networks other than AT&T will be 
trading his reworked gadget for a new car.

George Hotz, of Glen Rock, New Jersey, said he had reached the deal with 
CertiCell, a Kentucky-based mobile phone repair company.

Hotz posted on his blog that he traded his modified IPhone for "a sweet 
Nissan 350Z and three 8GB IPhones."

"This has been a great end to a great summer," Hotz wrote.
