iPhone: a second ATT-less activation confirmed in the wild

Developer "gj" and others behind the iPhone Development Project  
(http://iphone.fiveforty.net/wiki) claim to have released a "proof of  
concept activation program for the iPhone" that makes it possible to  
activate the device without an AT&T account, or re-activate after an  
AT&T account has been terminated.

Project participants explain that their work is intended to discover  
"additional uses for the iPhone by (legitimately) enabling its  
potential capabilities," and that the project is "for informational  
purposes only." Snip from the "goals and milestones" page:

The current goals of the iPhone Development Project are as follows:
* Break DMG Password *COMPLETE*

* Break Activation *COMPLETE*

* Unlock Phone

* Run Third Party Applications

* Allow DUN/Tethering

* Remove IMEI Transmitting

* Enable Disk Mode

(...)Also, as we enable certain features of iPhone, other features  
previously thought impossible may become reality.
