Two facts:

Proprietary EAP methods that can actually complete in a reasonable 
amount of time.   Many of these have small security holes and thus are 
not acceptable as standards.  (I know, I wrote two of them myself!).

They have thin APs with a central switch, so the phones don't actually 
roam in the classic 802.11 sense.  Thus the 802.1X exchange may only 
occur once (when the phone is turned on); then al you need is enough 
memory for the code, and with advances in Flash that is now possible.
