Just a day ago we wrote about the hardware unlocking of the iPhone done by geohot, AKA George Hotz. Naturally the mainstream press didn't pick it up until today. While that was great, everyone wants a software unlock, as you don't have to tear apart your iPhone to unlock it. And here it is - or at least will be, tomorrow.

Uniquephones, who we wrote about earlier, will be posting the software on their iPhone Unlocking site between noon and 2 p.m. Eastern Time tomorrow. They have already had 450,000 users sign up. Uniquephones plans to charge between $25 and $50 for the software, but users who have already signed up will receive either a 25 or 50% discount.

It was only a matter of time. I wonder what Apple will do to counteract this?
