Microsoft Invites Geohot, Jailbreak Extraordinaire To Develop for WP7

Microsoft just concluded their meeting with the developers behind ChevronWP7 where they showed us they have a sense of humor, offering the devs a lousy t-shirt for their efforts. In a curious move, Brandon Watson has reached out to George Hotz a.k.a. Geohot (via Twitter) inviting the jailbreaking legend to “build cool stuff on WP7“. Geohot is well known as the man to jailbreak the iPhone and more recently his jailbreak of the Sony Playstation 3, the latter which has resulted in some legal trouble.



Microsoft has offered up a phone. No word on whether Geohot will take them up on their offer. It’s also not clear what they hope to achieve, considering Geohot’s specialty is unlocking and jaibreaking.
