Personally, I've used plenty of devices with either a touchscreen (Iliad, tablet PC, Palm) or a keyboard (PC, Kindle, cell phone). I *far* prefer a keyboard for text input. I text a lot on my cell phone (with a QWERTY keyboard) so the Kindle's keyboard is easy for me and a great choice for text input. Sure, I type faster than the screen refresh but I'm usually only typing very short lines so that's not an impediment.
Unless Sony adds some sort of text input device, touchscreen or keyboard, all I can see the WiFi used for is their online store. That is until the good folks around here and elsewhere figure out how to use the connectivity to download books from here or Feedbooks a la the downloadable guides for the Kindle.
