the slim is coming out and there are some differences between it and the regular (size, weight, buttons ect) But will the PS3 Slim be wifi connection ready? or will it need to connect through a modem?

The only difference I can remember is you can't install Linux, and yes it comes with wi-fi.

YES, it does. I bought my SLIM today, when I was setting it up for wifi, it seemed to pick up more wifi signals in my area than my 60gb ps3 did and my current signal strength is 100%, compared to roughly 80-90% with my old ps3.

The signal on the phat PS3's could be improved with a firmware update, could be a part of the 3.0 update.

FW 3.0 comes out for everything on September 1st. The PS3 Slim's have FW 2.8 on them not FW 3.0.

The slim has two things going for it; WiFi and a sticky thread that probably answers this on the first page.
