yeah, ive had a bit more time to search the forum and found the previous thread on this...

a bit more playing, and i can see that this is a general issue with the iLiad

if i use the iDS button (for smb/computer) to transfer wirelessly:
- it will take 'forever' to move a 5Mb file to the CF
- same file, wireless to the internal memory is almost immediate

the good news, is that you dont need to take the card out.
so im wondering, do they unmount the CF when its not in use,
or is it that it only causes issue when it access CF

if the later, never access CF when using wireless connection...

im also thinking, perhaps i should always transfer stuff to internal memory and then move it across to the CF (automagically) on the iLiad.

do you guys always have a CF installed, or is it really going to kill the battery life?
