then, I'd like to know if there are any VoIP application for it (it has a microphone and speaker, right?)
TruPhone:

is it usable as a PDA?
Eminently useable as a PDA. There are hundreds of PDA apps for the touch platform, including the built-in ones.
Some don't like using the virtual keyboard but I do--combined with intelligent completion and other typing aids, I find text entry to be quite fast and accurate.
I believe one of the pieces still missing is the ability to create or edit Office documents but apparently, that's coming:

Finally, if you buy some Apps, can you keep the Apps ehn you upgrade the unit later on to a Gen 3 maybe?
As far as I know, yes. I believe the situation will be similar to how it is now on the desktop, i.e. when the operating system is upgraded, you may have to upgrade some applications for compatibility reasons. In any case, you apparently have similar rights regarding "apps" for the touch platform as you do for applications on the desktop.
By the way, you can buy apps either via iTunes or directly on the iPhone/iPod touch. In either case, the apps will be synchronized in both directions. Therefore, if you buy a new iPhone/iPod touch, the apps should sync to it just as, for example, your music and videos would.
