Casey Johnston, Ars:
Amazon has clarified that the next generation of its 3G Kindle, the Kindle Touch 3G, will not be able to browse the Internet without a WiFi connection. Users will still be able to use 3G to sync book and document purchases, but anything beyond Wikipedia will be off-limits.
I was wondering about this during the announcement. Having a touch browser with the Kindle 3G would have made the perfect replacement for an iPad. But, if the Kindle touch becomes as successful as Amazon believes, the all-you-can-eat is simply unsustainable. Too bad.
