I don't see a problem having to charge the device once a week because of wifi as opposed to once per four weeks. Surely people we haven't become so lacking in time that we can't pop our devices in the charger once a week. I think wifi is sorely missing, I was looking forward to reading blogs on my reader and enjoying the text on e-ink instead of the eye strain on lcd. And surely you always turn wifi off and conserve battery if you don't want it.
Sadly it seems margins are so razor thin for sony what with amazon's dominance that they can't "afford" to put a simple wifi chip there when even dumb phones nowadays have one. I think besides the margins though they are also being greedy.
