I saw what must have been a 650 on the airplane yesterday and looked on in envy with the touchscreen (I have a Nook e-ink). I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to be able to touch a word on the screen and have a definition. The touchscreen at the bottom of the Nook is hard to navigate with. Plus people that pick it up and try to use it intuitively start touching the e-ink part and get confused when it doesn't work.
I was surprised today when I was researching the 650 to see that wi-fi wasn't available. The one thing that hasn't been mentioned so far in this thread as far as wi-fi goes is the ability to download things on-the-fly from Calibre, which I would miss from my Nook. I have Calibre set up to pull down recipes from news sites and like being able to pull them onto my nook without being tethered.
Plus, the web browser on a 650 would actually be usable compared to the Nook (which is worthless). I wouldn't use the web browser MUCH, but being able to pull down a Wikipedia article here and there would be nice when something strikes my interest...
But yeah, 99% of my use of the device wouldn't be hindered too much by being tethered when I want to add content...
