If their price goes over $200 they'll fail in the current market and they need to find stuff they can leave out to keep inside that window - the wireless radio is the prime candidate for that.
Add that since they don't seem to be interested in apps for mobile devices, there's no need for wireless to sync between devices.

UNLESS they are going to arrange for a wireless connection with your computer.

As for touchscreen, it's not "touchscreen." It's "mashscreen." I had a "touchscreen" Sony for a few hours. Took it back the same day. Glare was an issue, but so was the fuzzyness of the font.
