According to this Engadget Mobile post, anySim from the iPhone Dev Team has gotten a pretty good software unlock GUI. The source code for the application will be released in a few days.
The glaring T-Mobile up on the top left of that screen shot gives me great confidence in this unlocking solution. Although Apple seems to fall in the chic company category along with Google, they are not outspoken about open networks. Their silence with all the hacks going on may be their quiet condoning this practice. They certainly don't want to annoy their provider (although they might wield the power over AT&T with the killer product and all of the press and fans etc. etc.). Furthermore, AT&T is making some enemies with their 30 pound phone bills and poor service.
As Apple's iPhone finds its way to Europe, these unlocks will become more common and common. Next step - 3G.
