MiTAC's Mio 8380 smartphone, powered by Microsoft's Smartphone 2002 platform, will soon be able to unlock their device to install uncertified applications.

According to a notice on the MiTAC JustMio web site, an online service enabling users to unlock their smartphones will be made available some time in October. There is no mention of whether the company will charge for this service.">
