To run in danger of boring you, but I received my stick and got it working with iLiad's connectionMgr. It now syncs flawlessly over the air, so I'm able to update News feeds etc. over a UMTS connection. Expect some file releases at the end of the week
The stick draws about 40 mA at 5V (=200mW) when it's offline. Compared to the 300mW (78mA * 3.7V) the iLiad draws when it's idle, this is quiet high. Total battery time would be reduced to ~6 hours when you always have your stick connected. That's the reason why I won't install the stick behind iLiad's backplane... I'll leave that exercise to someone else
