There are no "apps" like for other devices you may own such as an iPhone. There is no SDK, all the work that's been done so far on the Kindle platform has been done so unofficially.

You actually hit it right on the head. Amazon pays Sprint for Whispernet usage, which is the reason why they charge for per-megabyte book conversion & delivery. By using another "application" to use Whispernet you're basically putting the same cost on Amazon without paying them anything. I could see why people would be reluctant to publicly release an unofficial hack that might cause Amazon to completely lock down what access there is to the underlying OS already.

Basically don't hold your breath.
