Second, 3G where you stream lots of videos would be cost prohibitive! Read the fine print on almost every cellular data plan. Most of them have a 5GB limit but call that unlimited. Go over 5GB and you have to mortgage your house to pay the bill. Anyone who thinks Amazon should have provided free 3G is naive. Even pay for 3G is a waste IMO. As I stated, those video files will not be nearly as large as you think and the KF will hold plenty for you to pop over to the beach and watch a video or 5.
I only disagree with the 1st part. There are plenty of times where I've streamed Netflix or hulu + on my iPhone @ work.....during lunch and the quality was incredible.

Anyway I agree that I can completely understand why amazon would not have 3G on the Fire. Especially free. They can't afford to pay for all that bandwidth.
