iPhone and Asterisk

Let's say Apple do enable VOIP on the iPhone. They have a track record of adding the best of Open Source to both the desktop and server versions of OS X. The Leopard version of OS X server will build in all sorts of collaboration tools (Wikis, blogs, etc). Let's also posit adding Asterisk (the Open Source PBX software) to the bundle, with a friendly GUI to configure it. Suddenly the iPhone goes from being exec toy to being a mobile rich client of a convergent business comms platform. Why wouldn't they do this when, with not much effort, they'd suddenly have a great enterprise story to tell?
