Heh, I think OpenMoko needs a web forum, otherwise such subjects are  
going to be done to death over and over. I recently just sparked a  
big discussion on just this subject Tom. I'm of much the same opinion  
as you. The absence of WiFi appears to be purely down to technical  
issues, but temporary ones apparently.
