Vonage's WiFi phone

We first heard some rumblings about this late last year, but we guess it's semi-official now: later this year Vonage is going to offer a portable WiFi phone that can make and receive Voice over IP calls from nearly any wireless access point. The cool thing about the Vonage service is that you can make regular phone calls with it to any number and you get a regular phone number that anyone can call you at (we have a 212 number for the Vonage line here in the office). Since it works no matter where you are (all that's needed is a broadband Internet connection), you could conceivably take a Vonage WiFi phone with you overseas, and as long as you're within range of a WiFi hotspot, you could receive all your calls just as if you were back home.
