Thanks for all the replies guys,
The Amazon anouncement kinda blows any competition out of the water right now. Flying ou on the 2nd of sep so hopefully I can pick up the usage of the system quickly.
Man am I glad I haven't bought a device in the last couple of weeks.
I've spent the last couple of hours (between working) digging through press releases and the main release thread here and other links, and am still slightly confused on a couple of points.
Mainly will the 3G be limited to the amazon store and wiki, I don't believe this to be the case from what I've read but haven't found anywhere that seems to clearly state that it will usable to browse the web as well.
Also due to Amazon's history of fees for downloads due you believe you may have to pay for this usage? (nb I understand there's no contract etc but on a mb by mb basis)
I also appear to be getting some confused messages about wether the 3G usage may be limited to the country that you register your kindle with the amazon store?
A week ago this concept seemed crazy to me but now I'm having to look hard at wether to buy a wifi or 3G device...
I'll get back to searching but any help would be appreciated.
(Slightly depressing how heavily the official kindle3 thread got hijacked by the format argument as some of these questions appeared there but at this time remain unanswered)
