What I find a bit irksome is that the Kindle will be available in the Congo and Sri Lanka without wireless support... but, for some reason, Amazon won't release the Kindle up in Canada 'without wireless support' even though they see fit to do so in the freaking CONGO. It's almost as if Canada is somehow ranked below a Third World country so far as its desirability as a customer base goes...

I think the reason are the publishers. There will be contracts for English language publishers covering Canada and Singapore which prevent Amazon from selling, but none for many other countries -- like Congo.
What I would really love, though, is a similar offer for the new Irex DRG 800!
