For the readers who've been keeping up on the matter of iPhone hacks, we'll be reporting on the Do-It-Yourself hardware hack by George Hotz, and will have iPhone owners opening up their mobile. Before you get cracking, remember to have these items handy before heading over to George's blog (here) for the full instructions:

* An iPhone
* Some trusty case opener tools
* A soldering iron
* Fine pitch wire
* An unlock switch

You will also need to download several programming binaries to go along with the hardware hack - we've provided for them here. Now, before you get all gung-ho about this, keep in mind that this hack involves plenty of soldering, and will most likely brick your iPhone if you're not absolutely careful. You have been warned. George is hoping to have a simplified hack method ready by next week - hopefully, it won't be hardware-based.
