It has a basic web browser, but for international customers it seems most sites are restricted -- I can only browse Wikipedia (it uses the mobile version, http://en.m.wikipedia.org/ http://en.m.wikipedia.org/ ) I suspect the deals they've had to do with however many 3G provider companies mean more expensive bandwidth outside of US. I'm not sure about Kindle as an app platform; it feels a little too sluggish when the screen needs to be updated. Good enough for going to a new book page, but interactive applications may be difficult (e.g. just moving the cursor around faster leaves a visible trail). Maybe a new generation of the device with faster screen updates (some kind of dual e-ink/OLED screen?) and better keyboard.
