Will Greenpois0n work on a retired iPhone?  Don't need phone service for 
it, just want to use it as an iTouch.

Interestingly, I have a old 3G iPhone that works just fine as a iTouch 
with a retired sim card in it.  Says 'no service' but wifi works and I 
can use iTunes with it.  An older 2G iPhone won't work the same way, 
wants a valid sim card.
