Decactivated Original iPhone: Can be used as iPod touch?

Does anyone know for certain whether an original iPhone, decativated by replacement with iPhone 3G on the same account, can in iTunes be reset (which installs iPhone software 2.0) and used solely as an iPod touch by someone else with a different computer?
In other words, when original iPhones were sold, you had to activate an AT&T account even to use the iPod functions. Now that I've replaced the phone, a friend would like to use it solely as an iPod touch (i.e., preferably with WiFi).
Can this be done, and does anyone know how to go about it? Thanks.

I updated mine as well. Actually, iTunes gave me no choice. When I clicked Reset, it notified me that it would erase all settings (fine -- wanted that) but would also install v2.0 of the software (I had no problem with that until it then said it needed to register the phone with AT&T). There was no option to do otherwise given the dialog box that popped up.
Like the50ho said...any ideas? As I see it, If this thing's now iBrick, then I have no choice but to find someone who wants to register with AT&T and use it, else sell it.

    I just was wondering, Can I use my ipod touch as a airplay receiver to hook up to my stereo and play my itunes music from my computer?

    I believe there's got to be a way you can use the ipod touch as a airplay receiver to use on the stereo.
    The ipod touch has a port for plugging in earphones, that can also be used to plug a stereo into it.
    Now somebody just has to make an app for using on ipod touch or iphone to plug directly into the stereos input
    jack to play itunes music from your computer wirelessly, other than the ipod being plugged into the stereo with a wire.

  • HT1206 Can I use one iPod Touch with 2 accounts and download from both accounts?

    Can I use one iPod Touch with 2 accounts? Can I download onto the one iPod from each account?

    I havent seen anything confirming this but I suspect not. that would require you keep logging in and out of the two accounts since you can only sign in to one at once. In iTunes on your computer if you log into another iTunes account you can't log into another one for 90 days. As I say I've seen nothing confirming this on a mobile device, but I suspect it will be the same.

    With wifi available you can use an app like Skype for voice and video (4G only). There are also texting app like Text+.. There is also the native FaceTime and Messahes for iPods that use iOS 5.  You need a wifi connection for all.

    The quality is questionable, and text when viewed at a short distance does become un-readable, although, viewed from a distance, the touch outputs the PERFECT browsing experience in rich colour, and text with anti-alias.
    Also, it is to e noted that the old composite and component cables are still being sold on the online Apple store, alongside the new and improved one which support the ipod Touch. The old cable sets DO NOT support the iPod Touch even though the site may say they do. I reported this to Apple Onine and they changed the old cable set compatibility pictures to not feature the ipod touch anymore.
    On the subject of accessories for the toouch, you may also be inclined to know that I have confirmation from Apple that the current 'camera conector/adapter' they are selling on the Apple Online Store, DOES support transfer of photos from your camera to the iPod Touch. And for £20, its a spiffy gadget to have in your pocket.
    Thats All. Hope this helps your decision to invest.

  • Can i use my ipod touch with airport express?

    I will be staying in a hotel that only offers hard wire internet connection.  Can I use my ipod touch with airport express to have have WiFi?  I won't have my computer with me.
    Thanks!

    Yes, you can. However, you will not be able to administer the AirPort from the iPod Touch. Thus you would need to pre-configure the AirPort Express to work at the particular hotel that you will be staying at. Note: Most hotels now offer Wi-Fi in the rooms and the Express may not be necessary.

  • Can u use the ipod touch without wifi like the phones do

    can u use the ipod touch without wifi like the phones do

    That depends on what you mean by "use".
    Sure you can use it without wifi. Many apps do not require a connection to the Internet. The iPod app (or Music and Videos apps, I can never remember which the iPod Touch uses nowadays), for example.
    However, iPod Touch devices do not include the "cell phone parts" - i.e. they cannot connect to cellular voice or data networks. Therefore, when an iPod Touch cannot connect to a wifi network, it has no way to transceive data with the Internet (short of Bluetooth, but that's a special case and I'm sure not what you're asking about).

  • Can I use my iPod touch while it's charging?

    Hi, I've tried to research this so I wouldn't have to ask, but have had no luck. So, my question is, can you use your iPod Touch while it is plugged into the charger? Would that do any damage to the iPod? Thanks, Diane

    Axel, I meant to also mark your response as Solved, but I checked Helpful by mistake. Hope that didn't take any "points" away from you. Diane

    You can also AirPly to to an Apple TV and may do someting witht Apple TV HDMI output
    Further, y canuse one of these cable to output to a VGA or HDMI signal and maybe use that.

  • How can I use my iPod Touch as a remote for iTunes, while connected via USB?

    I was wondering if I could use my iPod touch as a remote/iTunes extension while it is connected to my computer via usb.
    It would be highly practical to control my music from there, since it is charging right by my side while I'm at my computer.
    Remote is not really an option, my computer doesn't have bluetooth or any connectivity. Something over wifi would work, but there's a usb connection right there that's begging to be used.
    Thanks

    You can't do it via USB.  Go to the App store and download/install the Apple Remote app.  It can control iTunes on your computer via wifi.
