Maybe their research showed not everyone wants wifi so left it out to keep the price down.
They employed that ethos with GPS and it ended up that those of us who want it had to pay £250 per camera and lose the hotshoe.

I'm not into this modular approach. Adding GPS and Wifi into the camera without "extras" wouldn't cost that much and would give the camera a perceived good value even for those that didn't initially ( or ever ) want those features.

How may still shooters look at the video specs of a camera and get positive about them even though they probably won't really use them. But the option is there.
Stop dissing Pentax just because your leaving!

Personally I like the Card approach, I'd like GPS on a card, aerial would be a problem I guess but I bet it could be done, it's only a damn circuit after all...
Not heading the Dynax route though...

Yes, that is just what they said they would do. Pentax for DSLRs, Ricoh for compacts.

It would be interesting to see how a replacement for the MX-1 fitted into that!
IIRC Didn't they say something along the lines of compacts for Ricoh and existing lines for Pentax (DSLR?) New tech for Ricoh?
Wonder if that means high end compact and maybe future mirrorles?
Would love a Gr with a fastish zoom (maybe a collapsible 20-40mm F2.8-4) and a big hotshoe EVF
