Zune Launches, Wi-Fi Functionality Doesn't - Will it ever see expanded Wi-Fi functionality?

Microsoft's answer to the iPod arrived today, and while the $250 Zune has some wireless functionality, we've noted that it doesn't do any of the things you'd really want it to (sync to your PC via Wi-Fi, connect to hotspots). Without other Zune users around, the wireless component is largely useless. Will the device ever be able to connect to the Internet via wireless broadband? "Probably, one day," Microsoft's Bryan Lee says to the NY Times.
