Regarding questions of "why introduce VV on PW-3".

Here is one possible reason:
The PW-3 I received on the 'release' date last year and the one I received today (both the same model), have dates on internal things that seem to indicate they where both built last May.

Edit: It could just be that the eMMC reels where programmed at the same time, not the entire device built (flash is programmed before being soldered to the board).

Could the PW-3 be having that much slower a sales rate than planned?
It isn't very common for a company to build stock for a year's worth of sales projections.

The 'thing' to do today is JIT manufacturing.

= = = =

As of yesterday, Amazon (usa) is still shipping PW-3 Kindles with 5.6.1.1 installed.
Of possible interest to those that want a new, but jailbroken, Kindle.
