They are dropping it because is not selling well, obvious. I don't see, for instance, Kindle dropping the 3G models soon, because is more an international device. Nook 3G was in direct response to Amazon.
3G is really useful, especially when traveling. What's happening is that USA or Europe customers see wifi as normal, but unless you have not traveled to South America you can't understand how useful 3G would be; wifi is just starting there. 3G is also more secure, even when buying books.
After buying my Galaxy Tab I don't see myself without 3G access anymore. Even with the basic Kindle 3 browser, I can check my emails or bank accounts if I don't have wifi access but 3G.
