The people interested in this site generally are interested in at least one of 4 things. As such below I have listed these groups
and discuss the current status.

==iPhone as Gadget Only==
This is people who want to use the iPhone, but have no interest in using it as a Phone.

There are a few methods of bypassing activation.
(Somebody should list these here, and provide links to the pages)

==iPhone with no new...
People who already have AT&T and want to buy/use the iPhone without a new contract.

After many, many hours of intense work from "Nightwatch", the first independent "Hello World"* application has been compiled and launched on the iPhone. This was made possible using the "[[ARM/Mach-O Toolchain]]", Nightwatch's "special project", that he has been working on so carefully over the past few weeks. Certain parts of the toolchain (such as the assembler) are being refined and tested and these will be released as soon as possible.

The amazing wizards at the iPhone Dev Wiki have been able to partially unlock the iPhone using a new application called iASign. It won"t fully unlock the iPhone, but the hack will allow you to use any existing Cingular/AT&T; Pre-paid SIM so you don"t have to get a contract with AT&T.; That"s full call functionality without two years of slavery.

Another milestone in opening up the iPhone. What is iPhone interface:

Hackintosh reports that hackers have gained shell access to the iPhone. For you non-techie readers, this means that we may soon see some true "home brew": applications that run on an iPhone, that are not authorized by Apple (anything locked down from third-party development is a target for hackers--like DVD copy protection, and the Sony Playstation Portable. See for example the thriving PSP hackers community).

The best thing about the iPhone in my opinion is that its a phone with a music player and whats great is that the music player is the best iPod Apple has ever made. So I am not sure how many of you out there are going to be excited to hear that DVD Jon has hacked the iPhone activation such that you can activate the iPhone without ATT. More details available after the jump....
