If 3G was offered for anything more than the "etch-a-sketch" navigational system Kindle has with a shaded gray static screen then it would be dropping a bomb on the cellular providers as well.

I have used that nav. system to read gmail, to look at the internet but it is painful, so I am sure that my total data usage is very very low, and that is how they planned it.
