Eloquently put, wifi does open up many more exciting possibilities but
honestly, I want the first-gen model in my pocket.. wifi or no wifi. 

Assuming I can find a decent GPRS data provider, any additional queued
service/comms stack that needs to be written should become more robust
as a result of dealing with intermittent connections anyway - bonus! ;-)
