One note, the first gen device DOES NOT have 3G at all so it can not be turned on in a future software update. 3G is coming in the summer at the earliest. They also do not have an upgrade path in place for early adopters. I started to cancel my pre-order but decided the wifi was good enough. I'll probably buy the Fast Ethernet adapter to go along with it.
When did they remove 3G? When I preordered week or so back the website said it would be 3G capable. I may cancel my pre order and wait for the "summer edition", as part of the attraction was that, in the future, I was not tied to a wifi spot.
