DVD Jon whips up a way to activate iPhone without AT&T
*Source: enGadget (http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/04/d...hout-atandt/)*

The headline kind of says it all: a little hex editing of iTunes (http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/iTunes/), a little hostfile hacking, a little program called Phone Activation Server v1.0, and you're on your way to an AT&T service free iPhone (http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/the-apple-iphone/), friend. That's right, Jon, knock that toxic AT&T-tied iPod-coffee out of Steve's hand.

Ok, so apparently the phone still doesn't work (we wonder if there isn't some kind of mechanism that binds the iPhone to select AT&T SIMs), so it's not like it's an unlocked device, but at least you can now use it as "the best iPod [Apple's] ever made."
