My guess is Amazon is afraid too many DX owners will use the 3g web a lot, causing them to have a large bill from ATT. Yes, the browser, even webkit, is hokey, but on the large screen it would be pretty useful vs. the regular Kindle's smaller screen.

Hope Amazon doesn't lock down browsing to Wifi only, like the nook and PRS-950. That would be horrible...
