Free 3G for how long?
Amazon's Whispernet is a fairly expensive service for Amazon to support. They haven't pushed a software update to the Kindle devices for quite some time. One reason is the expense of getting into the always connected devices over Whispernet without a clear return on that expense. So I've wondered about the use of the experimental browsers on 3G-enabled readers. When I wrote InkiMail, I used a PC with software that kept track of my up/download traffic in MB so I could see how much data was being handled. It was tiny. I curious about opinions about where this free web-connected feature is headed as B&W eInk gets its color replacement someday and bandwidth increases. Can they still keep offering free 3G?
