Do you think Skype might be joining the iPhone bandwagon with this SDK? It seems unclear from Steve Jobs' remarks just how selective they will be with applications. On technical grounds, I agree with disabling VoIP on cellular networks since these are nowhere near prepared. However, VoIP over WiFi is good enough and, coupled with Skype and services like SkypeIn, could be extremely useful. The unavailability of Skype is the only thing that's keeping me away from buying an iPhone.

and having coded all my web applications in Perl, until recently, I decided to implement PHP on a fairly lightweight Bookfair system. I built it using a complete OOP framework and it's running amazingly well.
As for the overbloated PHP design (twenty functions for the same thing), I hear you. All I can say is keep consistency in your code, limit yourself to a handful of functions. And hope, eventually, PHP will mature even further.
Then again, it's mostly about 'how' you code rather than 'what' you use to code.
