HOW CAN I ACTIVATE MY i PHONE WITHOUT USEING AT&T

We allready know the iPhone needs to be activated from within iTunes and registered with the carrier, AT&T, before it can be used for anything except telling the time and calling 911 to report your crazy girls tryin to smash your new iPhone. Have no fear Jon Lech Johansen (aka "DVD Jon"), who is notorious for cracking the CSS protection scheme on DVDs, took only five days to write a program that can bypass the activation step. It's called Phone Activation Server 1.0. Of course, if you don't have an AT&T account, the phone part won't work, but this hack does get you Wi-Fi, web surfing, e-mail and music capabilities,,What does this mean? It means that you have a $600 8GB iPod. It also means you have a mail and internet device. Everything works except the phone and EDGE functions, but WiFi is a go.

But it's not just plug and play. You'll need to know what you are doing, as Jon says, "this application will not do anything unless you understand the magic numbers as well as add the hosts entry." That's Greek to me, but if you try it, tell us about it in the comments.
