Maybe they're just keeping their options open to restore the feature if events demonstrate the shortcomings in relying solely on the 3G data connection.

I have a PRS-505 and do you think that with the release of the source code it may possibly be able to access Kindle editions? He did allude to the service on other computing devices. Granted at this point nobody seems sure that the Kindle proprietary bits are in there (doubtful, this sounds like a Tivo style release), but it would truly give the Kindle hardware team some competition, and in my opinion open up the eBook market a great deal.
