Hacking cellphones is whack!

Making his own mobile phones gains popularity among DIYer communities from the West Coast. They tweak, hack, their cellphone to add features such as “a stopwatch that doesn’t stop when the phone goes into power-save mode, voicemails delivered to his phone, a broader choice of messaging systems than just AOL’s Instant Messenger,” says Wired magazine.
“But Tamara Colby, a product marketer at a Silicon Valley startup, says the new club is ‘not about bashing the handset makers’ but taking advantage of the convergence of cellular and internet protocol networks.”
We presume that in the near near future, the interest that hackers could find in cellphones will just keep growing.
For now, many reasons could explain this trend: the spread of municipality WiFi networks, the buzz around company networks as Fon, the growing market of WiFi/cellular handsets, or mobile phones that just get closer and closer to desktop computers ― for instance, Nokia Smartphone now acts as a genuine web server.
