Unlocked iPhone (continued)
I love the name of that blog.
And TUAW says that if you take the sim card out of an activated iPhone, it acts like a wifi enabled iPod with a browser. The iPhod. Which is all I want because I don't want the iPhone for mail and phone anyway. I've got the curve for that. Anyone want to sell me an activated iPhone without the AT&T contract? I am all ears.

The question is if an iPhone activated in this manner, without an AT&T contract, will be updateable in terms of it's iPhone software, when version 1.10 is available.
Any thoughts?

Sign up for the pre-paid plan, then cancel it... I don't remember if I saw those instructions on TUAW, BoingBoing or Gizmodo... but they are out there.

Would be nice if Apple understood how to be a platform company. Open everything up. Sim cards, APIs, carriers, etc. Make it totally configurable, customizable.

Some people think that it is Apple's ultimate goal to sell an unlocked phone:

And that they just need to become a big player before they will have the leverage to do so...
