Free mobile web browsing on the Kindle.

Posted on 21 November 2007, Last updated on 07 November 2019 by

Now I’m interested. Not so much in the Kindle device itself but in the groundbreaking way that Amazon have set up this seamless, all-costs-included ‘experimental’ web browsing service over EVDO in the Kindle. It’s not a first as PocketSurfer do it with their Pocketsurfer 2 device but because this is a device getting a lot of attention, it might raise the question of ‘why do I have to pay for basic Internet on my mobile phone.’

Rob Bushway has just done an unboxing video of the Kindle. In Part 2 of his  video he shows how he browses to a website. “The initial impression of the experimental browser is much like Internet Explorer on Windows Mobile” he says in the comments.

I wonder if he can browse bloglines mobile making it a ‘free’ mobile RSS reader.

All we need now is for someone to apply the same idea to an Android-based Internet pad. I’m sure Google could swing it couldn’t they?
