Might be more like the Amazon 3G than you think ... anyone catch this on the new Kindle Touch 3G page?

'Tis a distinctly different statement than that which appears on the Kindle Keyboard 3G page. (below)

I'm wondering if the 3G availability for web browsing is being phased out by Amazon, because that "available via Wi-Fi" statement sure sounds like it! Nor does it surprise me a lot, because browsing via touchscreen is more pleasant to do, therefore potentially leading to more use of the 3G for that purpose.
At any rate, I guess we'll have to wait until they are shipping for someone to confirm whether one can still browse the web via 3g on a touchscreen Kindle.
