A prototype phone can open a voice-over-IP connection if there’s an open WiFi node available. Very, very interesting. If you had one of these and never left Manhattan, you’d probably never need to subscribe to cellular service.

I only wish we had more hotspots down here in Brownsville… I took a trip up to Austin a couple weeks ago, and WiFi service was *everywhere*. It was unbelievable.
Indeed. Apparently a lot of companies at CeBit were showing off wifi phones, and Nokia (?) pledged to begin manufacturing them soon.
