No Kindle before the 3rd generation had wifi. The functionality is similar, but wifi is usually faster, and doesn't cost Amazon for you to to use it like 3G does.
So, you can no longer get wireless firmware updates pushed over 3G, just wifi and you can't download Audible books over 3G, just wifi (or usb of course).

Amazon always had a charge for sending your kindle personal documents over 3G to your kindle.com address. Before wifi, you could have sent stuff to your free.kindle.com address, but it would just go to your computer for usb xfer. Now stuff send to your free.kindle.com will go right to a wifi connected kindle.
