Why is it that the "B2B" partners of the iLiad seem to be unknown start-ups with a very similar design?. I conjecture they are related to iRex workers.

Compare with http://www.leer-e.com/

Hmm... I would be very interested in receiving a UK newspaper on my iLiad.

The problem is... these websites seem so unprofessional. I find it difficult to put my trust in these people.

I will wait to see developments.

Interesting! We'll follow up..

pdam · 11-30-2006, 05:38 PM

hmmm - this just looks like the appointed UK distributor knocking up a website and making aspirational statements... the only thing the website currently does is sell you an iLiad or a replacement styus!

donkaarlos · 12-02-2006, 02:21 AM

"Follow-up": To me this looks good. I believe, that we just have to wait for the "official" announcement. The only thing I wonder is, what "soon" might mean this time.

jæd · 12-04-2006, 03:30 PM

Why wait..?

Just make a script like this:

Code:

#!/bin/sh 
rm -rf /mnt/free/newspapers/Guardian_Topstories.pdf
wget -q -O /mnt/free/newspapers/Guardian_Topstories.pdf "http://download.guardian.co.uk/g24/Topstories.pdf"
touch "/mnt/free/results/got_guardian_top_stories.txt"

Then enable wireless and run the script and you'll have todays online edition of the Guardian straight to your Illiad...

jackbrown · 05-09-2007, 04:04 PM

save this sucker in which directory in the iliad?

and with what file type?

I am going to try it out...
