Recently, Apple has been cracking down on unauthorized iOS5 users. It has been determined that Apple has identified several developer accounts who broke their TOS by selling their UDID slots for a fee to iDevice users who wanted to try out the iOS5 beta firmware. Apple has begun shutting these developer accounts and if you are one of the people who purchased a UDID slot you will now notice that your device is nothing more than a paper weight.
