With the arrival of my Kindle 3, I had an urge to make it do something it wasn't designed for. And surely anything with that much of a glossy UI would be backed by some form of Linux. So it was a matter of time.
The data found here is through experimenting with the Linux terminal on the Kindle (Once unlocked)
Some handy info: (TO BE ADDED)

--- fints-g7g.amazon.com ping statistics ---
9 packets transmitted, 9 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 291.142/481.637/1190.185 ms
The 3G Connection... Free 3G globally, with no subscription... What does that actually mean?
How it works:
1) Kindle is given a DHCP address from Vodafone in the 10.x.x.x range.. A popular LAN domain
2) Kindle can ONLY communicate via HTTP proxy on fints-g7g.amazon.com
3) All other DNS requests made by the system will be dropped, unless via HTTP proxy in browser
4) Amazon Proxy server only allows outgoing to HTTP (80) and HTTPS (443)
5) Only ping requests will return from fints-g7g.amazon.com (and its static IP)
6) The kindle authenticates with the Proxy server using a key stored in every connecting packet (X-FSN key)
To summarise:
The Kindle is NOT accessible over the web (could have guessed that)
The kindle is locked down to browser web access only via the proxy server
All requests must pass through the Proxy Server for ultimately... dropping :(
All communications will require the X-FSN key to be in the packet headers
What can be done?
Well, In my next update and Document the process will be documented on how to utilise these tight knit rules to overcome the 'hurdle.' This is an educational tool, and should not be used in practice.
