I have been investigating the ATT Captivate Android smart phone, and while I find nothing that states outright "the app Marketplace can only be accessed via 3g", I find a few references to the inability to access the Marketplace via Wifi. I am, then, unclear regarding the 3g requirement. But I do have a problem REQUIRING one to use up their data plan to buy and update apps.

Therefore, if the Marketplace can only be accessed via 3G, that pretty much leaves the (unhacked) nookColor behind for the time being.
