Yes, it would of course need firmware update to support the WiFi. I'm not sure if it would have a "browser" but it could connect to Sony's eStore to get raw data and display it in some fashing. This is how the eBook software works, by making requests from the server and displaying the results.

But, this is only code, not a physical change. The 10 buttons could be used to enter alpha characters they way you do on a cell phone. 2 = ABC, 3 = DEF, 4 = GHI, etc. Press 2 twice and you get B. Press 3 three times and you get an F, etc.
