The newest Apple 3Gs version of its popular iphone was released on Friday, and has reportedly sold over a million units in its first weekend.  The “iphone dev team” (not affiliated with Apple) also released a free iphone unlocking utility called Ultrasnow.  This is a full software unlock method for the iphone 3G, but does not work on the newer 3Gs version.

Iphone users are now finally free to port their iphones to the carrier of their choice, but may unfortunately have to pay a stiff penalty to the non carrier of choice for the termination fee.
