According to DVD Jon’s blog, So Sue Me, the world’s most famous code cracker has done it again, this time liberating the iPhone from AT&T’s activation process.
The iPhone’s iPod and Wifi features work without activating the phone service. The question, though, is why would you want to? Suddenly seems like a very expensive 4gb or 8gb iPod.
Despite being an Apple hater, the Hobo was quite surprised to see that the iPhone’s music navigation system did work exactly like it looks on the commercials. I’m still not buying one, though.

I’m not planning on buying one either–I’ve heard that apple is planning on releasing a smaller nano sized iPhone by the end of the year, and I hate to say I’m interested to see how much buzz that product will get.
Will they ever, I wonder, open it up to other service providers than AT&T or if they have a binding contract for a certain amount of time.
