I'm catching up on the hacks so far (good work!) and am looking forward to getting my iLiad soon (I just ordered). I'm looking to writing some apps for the iLiad, but with no SDK in the near future it looks like keeping root on the box is the order of the day.

To that end, it'd be much easier if there was no root pwd (at least not before I get comfy). Are the latest units still shipping w/ 2.4 firmware? Does the iRex automatically try to connect to wifi and update on bootup?

Also, are all applications currently running as root? (if so, I'm not as concerned)
