Sony Alpha A800 rumored part 3: Cnet Asia has more

Probably a successor to the Alpha A700 (pictured above), the A800 would feature the pentaprism from the A900 and on-board Wi-Fi, mostly for photo sharing on sites like Flickr and Picasa. If this is true, the Alpha A800 will be the first DSLR with Wi-Fi on board, and it is expected to be (finally) announced at upcoming Photo Marketing Association (PMA) 2009 tradeshow held between March 3-5, 2009.

Cnet Asia says:
It's kind of weird to see a Sony dSLR rumor on Nikon Rumors, but the site recently reported on a new Alpha camera from the Japanese company. Dubbed the A800, the shooter could be the successor to the A700, which is due for an upgrade. The specifications are convincing enough, with a 15.2-megapixel sensor, 6.5 frames-per-second burst mode, 9 double cross AF sensor and a maximum ISO sensitivity of 12,800.
