I wish they'd clear this up. Seems a lot of CS reps are saying you can use the 3G to browse like always (or so people are saying over on Kindleboards), but that changed wording leads me to believe otherwise. I was wondering if Amazon would do something like this for the new touch model, simply because browsing gets much easier with a touchscreen.
Probably best just to wait and see. We'll find out soon enough when the Touch is actually released. The Kindle browser is ... not wonderful. Its biggest limitation is that it's single window only, so that anything that tries to open child windows just doesn't work. With my ISPs "webmail" site, for example, I can use the Kindle browser to look at my list of mail messages, but I can't read or write one, since the browser opens a separate window for those actions.
