Yes it's for squirting (dear lord, who came up with that term?), but it could be for so much more.
The obvious use for wi-fi in a media player is for ease of synchronization. Ideally there would be some sort of signature established during the initial setup tying the Zune to whatever computer it's software is installed on; anytime thereafter if the Zune were on the same wireless network as it's home computer, I should be able to just hit a button and it would synchronize. Hell, you could even have it so that the home system sends out a page every 15 minutes or so and it would synch up the Zune without any user intervention at all.
So yes, the wi-fi capability could be made much more compelling.
