Your old iPhone as an iPod?

After upgrading to your new iPhones 3G, let’s face it - you do not need two iPhones. In order to combat this, Apple has come up with a rather ingenious idea. They are going to allow customers who upgrade to the new iPhone to keep their old one and use it as a wi-fi enabled iPod. The cell phone functions would be disabled.

Although that’s the route AT&T prefers, as it generates high margin service revenues for each addition iPhone on its network, it’s not the only option owners have.

This is a fantastic idea by Apple, because it allows customers to use their old iPhones to store music. However, there might be a problem when it comes to sharing music. Since the music in iTunes can only belong to one library, customers might not be able to put music on both iPhones. Who really wants to carry around two different iPhones?
