The July 7th edition of the Wall Street Journal features an article on Ari Weinstein, a 15 year old from Philadelphia, who happens to be one of the key players responsible for Jailbreaking the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Working in conjunction with the “iPhone Dev. Team” Ari and his team have been successfully Jailbreaking all of Apple’s devices.

These teams are the guys responsible for bringing you all those nifty tools which allow you to Jailbreak your iPhone and iPod touch.

Ari, who says he began computing at around age 2 has been working on different variations of the team’s Jailbreaking program for over two years.

He has his own lawyer too, who’s working for him pro bono just in case.

You can read the entire article and watch a video profile of Ari here.

I say, “way to go Ari!”
