re: Wifi Capabilities

I know how to use it but I don't know all the lingo. My buddy has a touch and sends me email. She says it has wifi. But, doesn't the Zune because I can synch wirelessly? But, can I send email too?

Yes, your Zune has wifi.  But wifi just means wireless ethernet, which is a 'local' networking standard that can be used to connect to the internet, thru a connection (router, etc.)  Wifi itself has only about a 300 foot range.   You can browse the net, do email, etc. over wifi (it's just the communication protocol) if the device has applications that support those functions.  You won't be able to do email on your Zune until Microsoft creates a Zune email application... which would be nice, although without a keyboard, typing anything more than 'LOL' might be a pain in the neck.

And touch has the touchscreen keyboard so their good right?

I'm not that familiar with the Touch...but yes, if Apple implements a touchscreen keyboard and an email app, then they should be good to go for email.  But, also remember that wifi doesn't get you onto to internet by itself...they also have to create a system to connect to wifi hotspots, etc. and get internet access thru those.
