The Kindle does this but only because Amazon pay for the data usage by adding the cost to the price of the e-books. Pentax can't really monetise anything on a camera, so unless you can get a data plan I highly doubt this could happen.
And I've just thought, didn't Nikon do something very similar, but released a separate module because Wi-Fi has varying protocols or something around the world, and putting them in one body would be very expensive, cumbersome and not practical or something?
It'd be cool to advertise to people going on holiday or something, a small and rugged camera (the Q) with unlimited photo storage space as each shot is uploaded directly to Facebook or something in real time, so your loved ones can see exactly how awesome your holiday is as it progresses.
Or as you say, if it could do streaming...

It'll definitely be a Q thing surely, so people can take photos, add filters and share them straight away, just like instagram, but in a much more awesome package. Like a Q-WiFi edition.
But yeah... Entering WiFi passwords on a camera isn't going to be fun, nor is registering at new hotspots and things, so the interface will have top allow some method of point & click + keyboard. You'd think so anyway... Even Starbucks WiFi needs you to click something to get online.
This thing is going to NEED a touchscreen. If it's true. And I'd rather not have android, it's pretty sluggish and it does far more than you need it to do in a camera. I don't want my camera to be able to play draw something...
