So if i buy an contract-free iphone 4 from an apple store, use pwnage tool on it, and all goes well, what I am left with is basically an iPod Touch that can connect to the internet via wifi and run programs like skype, AIM, etc?

No further modifications are needed unless I decide to use it as a cellphone?
 
Definitely seems like an expensive way to get an iPod touch, unless you are actually planning on using it as a phone at some point. I guess you are also paying for the style and form factor too, but the 400$+ difference would discourage me from that.
 
well, it's worth it in my opinion because it will ring just like a phone and you can hold it up to your head and use it like a phone as well.
 
I could see doing this if you wanted to slap an iPad data plan sim in it and just use 3G broadband but if its going to be wifi-dependant it seems like a shame to spend so much money.

That being said, if its worth it to you, more power to you.
