I'm a big believer that it's when, not if, that we will see Mobile VoIP and true Mobile IP phones very soon.
I've talked previously about the phones coming from Kyocera that will work with both 3G and WiFi networks that Boingo will be deploying. Skype is also making noises like they will be in that camp soon, as I expect Yahoo and AOL. It's too logical and a needed extension for all.
This article in Mobile Guerilla provides some good background.

I think mobile VoIP would be cool. Netgear and a handful of other companies are also coming up with Skype phones that can be used over a WiFi network, and I find it interesting how this will go given limited WiFi coverage even in urban areas.
A lot of telcos nowadays are hyping up 3G, but I think that's nothing but crap--I don't need more acronyms than I can handle. I'd rather go for a widely-implemented WiFi (or WiMax, or whatever) network and get myself a WiFi-enabled VoIP phone.
I can definitely do more with an 802.11 network implementation than some closed network offering by the telcos such as 3G.
Cheers.
