1) release iPhone;
2) get Boingo to offer free wifi to “iPhones,” knowing that large numbers of non-iPhone users will change their user-agent strings and forget (or not care) about changing them back;
3) many more “iPhones” reported to be on the web;
4) more designers making sure their pages work & look great on iPhones;
5) more people thinking & telling their friends, “Wow the iPhone makes websites look great”;
6) PROFIT!!!

Then all websites will think that you're using an iPhone. To change it back to the default, just delete the key.
