Internet tablets such as the Nokia N800 already support VoIP... and I'd defy
you to find many people who routinely use one who aren't also carrying a cell
phone. The landscape is certainly set to change in the next, say, five years
but today for a serious phone user (who cares primarily about reliability and
not so much about the cost) wirelesss VoIP alone isn't viable.

Anyone would see through that
-- once you already have a data *network* in
place, adding the extensions to support prioritized traffic (needed to get
decent performance for VoIP) is easy.
