Daily Update: Colorado Trip, Verizon iPhone 4 Tear Down, More

Good morning.

I was traveling yesterday and will be in Fort Collins, CO all week for work-related meetings.

iSuppli has issued a preliminary report about its iPhone 4 for Verizon tear down and, as expected, and contrary to David Pogue's BS claims, the new version of the iPhone "employs a dual-antenna design that takes advantage of antenna diversity to improve reception." Point being: Apple shouldn't be used as a source for facts. Neither should Pogue.

There's a preview of a new Kindle device firmware out, version 3.1, which adds some neat new features, including true page numbers, public shared notes, bookmarks, and reading progress, and a new layout for periodicals. Right now, you have to manually install the update over USB. When it's finalized, it will be delivered wirelessly to Kindle owners.

DEC co-founder and industry pioneer Ken Olsen has passed away at the age of 84.

The new page numbers for the Kindle are awesome! No more having to sit down with the physical book and add page numbers in notes when I'm participating in book studies or teaching. I've had to do that in the past--not for every page, mind you, but for certain significant passages. I was very pleased to note that some of the books in my Kindle library, which would be FAR from being bestsellers, have already received page numbers. Amazon is really on the ball on this one.
