Don't get me wrong, I'm all for providing more features. I just find this to be a lower priority feature, since the next model will eliminate the need for it. And if it's a question of how to allocate time and money on these features, I'm hard pressed to find a feature I wouldn't value over the 3G/tethering.

Actually, it was advertised as an upgrade to the first generation model (which is why there is a SIM card slot). They silently removed this as a future add-on for the first model and revealed that it would be a included in new model. I had already pre-ordered before I knew this changed. $500 dollar is not something I throw around on devices every couple months, however, I am happy with the Edge even without the 3G.
