Kindle 3 Wireless Web Race - 3G v. WiFi
Loading...
Uploaded by LenEdgerly on Aug 28, 2010
Len Edgerly, host of the Kindle Chronicles podcast, compares the speed of 3G v. WiFi on a pair of Kindle 3s set up with identical configuration except for the wireless connection. Both are set to enable Java and Images, and cookies and history were cleared before the test. WiFi at the cottage in Ocean Park, Maine, where the viceo was filmed is averaging 9 Mb/second download and .22 Mb/second upload.

@thetito626 no amazon pays for it
-
who really cares about how fast it is. if I can get to the internet on the go thats all I care about. With the wi-fi you need to be by a wireless hotspot
-
DO you have to pay for the 3g service?
-
wi-fi is needed else she needs to visit burger king or other hotspot services.

If you really want to download books then yes. Otherwise you saw how slow the browsing is...

Kindle 2 v Kindle 3 refresh rateby janelitte4,580 views
The Amazon web site says "Kindle with Special Offers has all the same features as Kindle (Latest Generation) and is available with Free 3G + Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi only connectivity."
I would think "all the same features" would include the 3g browsing. Does anyone have the special offers version so you can tell us for sure?

@ed1958ed I have a 3G with Special Offers and it does include browsing the web.

is the 3g completely free for as long as you have the kindle ? and is it worth the 50 bucks? please respond

@magicisawesome111 Yes, it's free for as long as you have the Kindle. It's worth the extra $50 if you frequently need to buy content or browse the web away from WiFi. I like it for buying a magazine at an airport just before my flight leaves. So for me, yes, the convenience of 3G is worth the extra. I just bought a 3G with Special Options, which is just $164 - a pretty good deal given the free 3G, IMO.
