When I try to launch the browser, a pop-up informs me that I have turned the wireless off and I have to turn it on to enable the experimental browser to launch. So I reckon that in spite of all the official statements from Amazon in WIRED, etc, claiming that the Kindle Keyboard will retain this feature, it looks like mine can no longer use this feature.

For that matter, than most quality 7" ones.<br /><br /> That Asus Transformer Prime is in my view though!<br /><br /> There's no question in my mind that the 3G web browsing would be tons faster and I'd use it a lot more and so would anyone else. Just to touch the spot and have it go, and then go with a faster processor?<br /><br /> They have to answer to stockholders, so I just don't see them changing their mind on that. I'd love to be wrong here...<br /><br /> The faster webbing via WiFi -is- worth something though... And Wikipedia via 3G globally is still amazing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-64465752820934230302011-11-10T09:39:19.732-08:002011-11-10T09:39:19.732-08:00Maybe the upside of this is that I'll buy both...Maybe the upside of this is that I'll buy both a K3 and and Fire (perhaps that's what Amazon had in mind :) ).

They really cannot afford that when they're paying the 3G.<br /><br /> Look how expensive it is. I was looking fwd to the Touch for that reason but obviously, they weren't. But for all my pushing of the 3G web browsing feature, I can't blame them.<br /><br /> Me, I'll leave my house only with the Kindle 3 (or DX) and leave the Touch at home where I can do faster web browsing on it as needed, to follow links, with the WiFi...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-29913470722289446062011-11-10T09:14:19.706-08:002011-11-10T09:14:19.706-08:00This is such a disappointment for the KT 3G.

I also typed up all kinds of documents on the move and use the online syncing with notes. <br /><br />Guess I'll be canceling my order and picking up a K3 3G for now. I really can't believe they killed this feature - it is not as if you can watch Netflix or use Pandora on the non-Fire devices. That low bandwidth free 3G browsing was a killer feature in my mind.Don Jameshttp://www.agilemarketer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-66775692103022328702011-10-03T12:46:17.079-07:002011-10-03T12:46:17.079-07:00No web browsing over 3G on the Kindle Touch?

I'll stick with my K3 3G (aka Kindle Keyboard 3G). <br /><br />I don't surf the web that much on my K3 anyway, but I do read articles with links and it is nice to go to that website to use Article Mode to read the linked article.<br /><br />If/when my K3 wears out, I'll switch to the Kindle Touch. Until then, it's not worth upgrading.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-63937295647609648452011-10-03T12:42:16.872-07:002011-10-03T12:42:16.872-07:00No web browsing (except Wikipedia) over 3G on the ...No web browsing (except Wikipedia) over 3G on the Kindle Touch for $50? Sorry, no deal. <br /><br />I guess what you get for $50 is Whispersync anywhere there is 3G, instead of waiting to sync over wifi at home. Or if you don't have wifi at home.<br /><br />It would also allow you to receive books w/o having to manually copy them over USB and receive personal documents at 15c per MB.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-46030855302715775692011-10-02T20:23:06.645-07:002011-10-02T20:23:06.645-07:00Finally, closure.
