What makes OpenMoko disruptive where the iPhone may not be is not WiFi or VoIP per se.
The key ingredient is the control of one's personal public access handle. Where voice is concerned that's your phone number. Even in locales where number portability is available, the list of players among which you can move that public handle is limited. OpenMoko makes it possible to increase that pool significantly because, through openness, it enables interesting signaling mechanisms. I want to make my telephone number be more like my DNS domains: - Cost ridiculously less than a PSTN number costs today; practically free. - Be as completely under my control as possible. As far as voice is concerned, that's what makes OpenMoko interesting to me. It's not [the lack of] any particular technology, it's control.
