HTC Dream gets unlocked bootloader, makes someone's come true

[![][1] ][2]

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Neither. It's HTC's increasingly creaky-looking [Dream][3] and it's just got its bootloader unlocked. Others may remember it fondly as the T-Mobile G1 and the very first Android phone to arrive on the market. For that alone, it deserves some respect and the _right_ to join its ancestors in the unlocked bootloader pantheon. Retrospective tinkerers from the future can head over to HTC's developer site for all the tools.
