iphone2.jpg The wily Norwegian hacker, DVD Jon [or Jon Lech Johansen to his parents] has gotten the iPhone hacking hobby well underway by partially hacking the iPhone. And just 10 days after Apple's latest hottie sold 500,000 units in a matter of days.
A utility he has written edits code in the iPhones system software that lets users access the iPod and Wi-Fi capabilities of the device without having to sign-up to AT&Ts mobile service. That said, you cant use the phone services which essentially turns your iPhone in to a really expensive MP4 player.
This utility, which you can find ****, is not for amateurs. You have been warned. You can find alternative iPhone workarounds from the iPhone Dev Wiki here ****.
