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.
Check out recent discussion here:

Hya,
I'm new to the list, so I don't know whether this was already
discussed, but I'm surprised (and a bit sorry) that the OpenMoKo
spec doesn't include WiFi - I'm currently using an HTC Universal
and would very much like to switch to the MoKo as soon as it's
available, but I find that the WiFi option is really useful and it
will be very hard for me to give it up - I use my phone for
browsing the web quite a lot, and also for VOIP (which is really
one of the killer apps for smart phones).
What is the rationale behind the exclusion of WiFi? Will you
consider including it on future revisions? Will it be possible to
extend the MoKo with a WiFi card or something like that?
Tom
