One of the biggest reasons that unlocked 3G iPhones aren’t selling that cheap in the black market is because of the implementation of in-store activation. Well, things might be headed for a change as AT&T and Apple has brought back at-home activation opening the doors for unlockers to buy online and sell them again for a small profit. Of course, this is only applicable for residents in the US and AT&T, but the bigger question is; is there an unlock tool available for the 3G iPhone?

Will this latest development initiate work on a new 3G iPhone unlock? That’s what we’ll have to see in the next couple of days.
