Hi Dave,

For IP if you wish:

Hacker Jon Lech Johansen, known widely as "DVD Jon," has cracked  
Apple's iPhone activation, or so he claims, meaning that iPhone  
buyers will be able to activate and use the new handset without  
having to commit to an AT&T wireless  contract. Johansen announced  
his feat in a blog post entitled "iPhone Independence Day."

Cheers,

Mark.
