Concerning the unlock, this will be tricky. It is highly probable that iPhone will have the new firmware installed, rendering the unlock patch useless.
Interesting issue for Apple. If the phone's easily unlockable, they'll sell more, but won't get the revenues. They'll also probably leave themselves open to litigation from the telcos they've signed up.
Sure, they can't be seen to allow unlocking, but I'm sure they don't need to retrospectively and actively block the unblockers.
