So where's this unlock thing I've been reading about?

I have no idea what it is, what it does, or what it's rumored to do. If anyone can answer these questions for me in plain English, please feel free.

Also, my iTunes says "Will check for update again on 1/1/09," but nothing is available. Odd.

Means an iPhone locked to a specific carrier (eg. AT&T, ROGERS, FIDO ETC) can now be used on any carrier.

Any carrier with compatible networks(ie no tmobile 3g in the US)
