Well... Its the problem of releasing betas to a community... Back then everyone said they didn't mind that it was full of bugs. Now they've changed their mind. If you can accept that the Illiad is a beta product then it seems fine, and I personally think that its come a long way since the beginning of summer... It still has a long way to go but I personally wouldn't go back to humping dead trees around...!
Its also a completely different platform. Of course there aren't going to be that many content providers... Where were the online music stores until the Ipod came out...?
