This CNET article quotes a software developer Damian Hack (!) who provides some legitimate nuances to the situation: "The Orange SPV has not been 'hacked'," Hack wrote. "The (security measure) has, rather, been legally circumvented by exploiting existing bugs in the bundled software and operating system. This circumvention allows developers to test their applications on their own SPV prior to going through the Orange certification process. This is surely a necessity in any robust and quality-assured development scheme." I could not agree more. The real issue at hand is an operator wanting to lock down devices, not software developers and users being able to run whatever applications they choose.
