So I just picked up a 3G Kindle 3 from Target yesterday. Great reading experience so far.

One significant reason for picking up the Kindle is our coming trip to China. I anticipate using the Kindle for travel info reference. Also anticipating using the 3G access to look up tripadvisor.com for local restaurants and wikipedia on travel attractions, as well as gmail...

Given that I'll be in a Chinese city indicated on the Amazon map to have 3G access, will I be able to use wikipedia and use google etc.. ?

I've found some reports of limitation of 3G web access. Not sure if it applies to China.

Thanks.
