“We will only stop VOIP over cell networks, but not WiFi” Steve Jobs, CEO, Apple

A project to introduce a VoIP client onto the iPhone has already been underway for some time – see http://touchmods.net/ – but the SDK’s access to the WiFi stack and the full media capabilities of the handset should make the task much easier.  Personally, I’m hoping to see Skype on the iPhone.
