Apple iphone available on Sprint and Verizon

Apple's developers conference is this week and they just announced the new version of the iPhone. Unfortunately, the phone is still only available on AT&T's network. This is an ongoing pet peeve of mine. I believe that all phones should be available on all cell networks. I have finally become a fan of an Apple product with the iPod touch and cannot get the iPhone because I'm locked into a contract with Sprint. Whenever I get frustrated with technology limits, I try to find a work around. So yes there is now a way to have an iPhone with Sprint or Verizon. Wel,l sort of...
Both Sprint and Verizon offer a data plan with a new device called a MIFI 2200. This device combines 3G cell network technology with wifi. It allows you to connect up to 5 wifi devices to it. It's battery operated and slim enough to fit in your pocket. The battery lasts 4 hours, but you can extend it to about 14 with a 3rd party battery. Combine the MIFI 2200 with an iPod touch using the Skype app and you now have an iPhone (minus the camera) on a cell network other than AT&T. Now if we can just get the cell companies get rid of their ridiculous 5GB data limits.
