And finally, it looks like they only support 802.11b internally - is or will there be any way to upgrade that?
1) No, but you can use it as a passthrough for your bluetooth phone and headset.

2) You can purchase a Compactflash Ethernet card, or use a pocket router to go from wired to wireless

3) 802.11g (54Mbit) is pretty useless on a device this small, there is no kind of data it would need to received at that speed.
