I've seen this info before, but I am not sure if this is still possible. Can I buy a used Iphone 1G on ebay and use it as an Ipod, with no ATT service? I remember when the iphone first came out, people were going month to month and then canceling. Anyone know how to do this now?

Yes, but you need an AT&T SIM in the phone (stupid stupid stupid) to switch it to airplane mode (phone disabled).
Mac update estimates: MacBook Pro 1Q10 (quad core Nehalem [Clarksfield]); MacBook 1Q10 (Arrandale); MacBook Air 1Q10 (Arrandale LV); Mac Pro/Xserve 1Q10 (6 core Westmere, 64+GB RAM); iMac 3Q10 (quad core everywhere); Mac mini 2010

You don't need a frackin' sim. Just jailbreak it and use it.

iPhone can't be used as portable disk as iPod on Mac. Some third party software can mount iPhone as portable disk.
