Instead, they’ve delivered WiFi interfaces that aren’t connected to the earpiece – so if you use the WiFi to do Skype or other mobile VoIP service, all you get is speakerphone. Frustrating.

UMA is all about using the WiFi for GSM voice. It’s not SIP (Vonage, Packet8, Intelliverse…).

The iPhone’s WiFi interface is interesting for VoIP, but only if Apple has trumped AT&T’s objections. Oh, we won’t know until Apple creates a 3rd party software community. Let’s hope they have what it takes to standup.
