Activate iPhone, Without the Phone, Why?

The infamous DVD John (the hacker we all love for originally breaking the encryption on DVD’s) has discovered a way to activate the iPhone without having to have phone service from AT&T:

The headline kind of says it all: a little hex editing of , a little hostfile , a little program called Phone Activation Server v1.0, and you’re on your way to an AT&T service free , friend. That’s right, Jon, knock that toxic AT&T-tied -coffee out of Steve’s hand.

I really can’t understand why you would buy an if you have no interest in the actual phone. In 6-8 months Apple will release a 6th Gen with all these features, minus the phone, probably with a larger hard drive and for half the cost. So my question remains: Why?
