Hack to bypass AT&T registration released

Famous reverse engineer (I don’t know what it is either) Jon Lech Johansen has claimed to be able to ‘Activate’ the iPhone without signing up for the two-year, lock-in contract with AT&T (or AT&EVIL). The hack will not let the iPhonian use mobile services (calling,SMS etc.) but WILL let the user play around with the iPod and wi-fi features of the iPhone. He has published something he calls ‘Phone Activation Server v1.0′. It’s not all that simple, as you still need a fair bit of knoledge of manipulating host files (Whaaat?) and the like to be able to pull it off. GO JLJ!!! iPhone-ae will keep you updated
