It’s all good Steve. I love Apple and all, but I don’t need the so-called “Jesus Phone” Day One. It’s not like they’re gonna run out of them. There’s always Christmas. :)

In this post, you say “no VoIP for EDGE/3G (sorry Skype).”

However, in the NY Times review, Ed Baig says “One coming program, called iCall, will give you free phone calls when you’re in a Wi-Fi hot spot.”

I was under the impression there would be NO VOIP AT ALL, because ATT wouldn’t want people using non-ATT minutes on their iPhone, thus a possible revenue loss. Is it actually going to be the case that there is VOIP calls while on Wi-Fi, just not on 3G?????

Thanks.
