As for WiFi, it's most certainly NOT "around" so being able to get online wherever a GPRS signal is certainly is a handy alternative. WiFi is nowhere near useful just yet and I don't see popping into a starbucks any time I need to get work done to be a serious alternative, perhaps for latte drinking students but not for me...
