VoIP is going fast into mobility. Dual mode phones include VoIP and GSM or VoIP and WiFi. Q5 has all necessary hardware for that: speakers, microphone and WiFi possibility. Would that be considered in the (near) future?
All gadgets start to include simultaneously GPS and voice. So why not this one too?

I don't see why you couldn't do this, but the actual G5 hardware won't support it, but doesn't mean you can't plug in a USB phone to use as VoIP with corresponding software.

To plug in an USB phone, you need to install the drivers. Cn they work in Windows CE as they would in desktop windows version?
Second: what I think is that if it would be possible to install a softphone in windows CE, than you should not need the USB phone, because it already incorporates a microphone and speakers. Would this be possible?

PMP is supposed to be PMP, but more and more, they incorporate other functions like GPS. Doesn´t a GPS include MP3 reading and picture viewing? but it is still a GPS. And I think that VoIP will become mobile very shortly, same as cell phones, first in a WiFi covered area, than in WiMAX (just as a cell phone), but a lot cheaper. This is why I would consider also the Q5, because would be all in one.
