The 3G connection on the "Daily Edition" can only be used to connect to the Sony eBook store. It cannot be used for general internet access. That's why it's only sold in the US, because the Sony eBook Store is not available outside the US.

Perhaps Not, Just like the Commonwealth Games Village.

The wifi would work outside the USA.
