I will bring this up!! The roadmap from the factory seems to be running water with toilet added. I doubt they will do one without Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and Note-Taking... but those are "cheaper features". I would not doubt that one without Touch will see the light of day.
You have asked a very good question!! Let me try to get an answer.

I would like to support griffonwing request. Outisde USA wireless, at least right now, is not a very high selling point. What is the use, after all ? Buying and downloading ebooks ? Then a wireless add on could be a very expensive solution to replace a PC, which you normally already own and the old trusted USB. There could be a market in the EU for a basic - nofrills device. Personally, I think that right now these possible options, wireless and touch screen do not really improve anything. A device with those options will become more akin to a netpc and end up competing with them (and lose, pricewise). Whereas a 9.7" rightly priced .....uuuhmmm.
Cheers.
