This is a silly article. It's way too late and the picture is of a K2 and not a K3.

The Kindle has always had free 3G except for the new wifi only model.

Welcome to MobileRead Pindle.

But yes, way outdated info in that article. Good things might be coming our way though. Maybe a color screen or something.

Maybe they'll add a VGA adapter so that I can use my Kindle as a monitor. :hopeful:

OMG That's revolutionary!!! I mean.. touch screen is cool.. phones are cool. Who else but Apple would have thought of combining the two?!

When I tell people that they can get free internet on their Kindle's they always seem surprised. I wouldn't recommend the Kindle as their main computer, but for reading and checking emails it's perfectly fine.

Unfortunately, the problem with that is, when you're talking about 3G, this isn't actually true for a lot of people.
I really, really wish I had 3G internet (free or otherwise) on my Kindle, but alas, it only works on holidays to some countries.

When I tell people that they can get free internet, they ask if they can tether it to their computer.

In other news, if Amazon does come out with a color reader, it may be Android powered and LCD.

May be? I'd say the fact they now have an Android App store pushed "may" into "is likely to" or "surely will".
