Microsoft Offers Geohot Free Phone
Before I begin note that I'm typing this on my IPhone so bare with any mistakes :p.
Microsoft, creator of the Windows 7 phone has contacted George Hotz and offered him one of their sleek new phones.
Yesterday George said on his blog that he plans to buy one of these new phones. In response, Brandon Watson, an entrepreneur for Microsoft, said the following on Twitter:

We all know what George can do. Let's see if he out does himself this time.
This does get me thinking though. Is Microsoft trying to send a message to Sony? While Sony is suing people they're rewarding hackers and asking for Geohots help.

Hurah!
I don't know why but recently Microsoft is like loosing off on the Hacking... but back then when JTag was famous they would ban and remove people and stuff now they're letting to hack the kinect and the windows phone. So now they're just indirectly telling people hey come to us we let you do Homebrew and not sue you.

Microsoft is probably just making up for the countless flaws in the 360. :FU:

For all the PS3 Fanboys that never had or no anything about them 360 has been hacked for awhile in all games and piracy was all over the place i could get a game for 5 bucks a month before release...The problem for sony is tho everyone on the PS3 are making games unplayable its all nice to have a littile fun but if you all start scrweing up all the games have fun ruing your system atleast MS knows enough to get rid of the problems were Sony is still trying to figure out WTF to do about everyone crying that can't play games b/c its all messed up
To all the Sony Fanboys have a good time ruing your system and basically making it unplayable i hope in the end it was worth it
