For several reasons, I'd say so. Using the cell modem really tears through battery life. Also, there are plenty of places in the Chicago area I've noticed where coverage is spotty enough to not have reliable data. Then there's plane flights, which is a time I've sometimes wished for an engrossing game on my phone. Plus, if you rely on always-on internet, you lose potential users that have an iPod Touch.
