Yes, the Kindle 2 is now gone.

Also, for those looking at the Nook, you not only can't order wirelessly outside the US, you can't order any other way, either. It's the same geographic restrictions that Amazon had to start with - B&N will have to negotiate all those international rights on their own (and develop a method to identify the location of the purchaser, so they can send the money tot he correct copyright holder).
