New WiFi VoIP Phones Run Linux?

Two companies announced new WiFi VoIP phones today at CES. The first one is the "Netgear WiFi phone for Skype". This is not confirmed that it's using Linux, but Netgear is known for using Linux across their product line and Skype needs Qt to run. The other products are WNC's GW1 dual mode GSM/WiFi SIP phones. This apparently is running a themed version of Trolltech's latest Qtopia Phone edition with VoIP SIP capabilities. The same company also has two clamshell versions too using the same core (1, 2).
