Hmmmm yes I see that. But what about iDS for sending the rss feeds and such (the kind of inbox stuff) automatically and when you want to do more you are awake and actively using the iliad and use the feedbook program to download the additional stuff?

On the other hand, will Irex allow 3rd party programs to use the automatic download of content with on/off and such? I know it might compete with iDS services. But you could work out some special SDK for that maybe?

Just storming my brains here

iDS seems like a great idea for simple news delivery, but for more advanced browsing or searching, you need a bit more of UI and code.

It'd be interesting to have a chat on this subject once again though, I'm sure we can create a more interesting experience for iLiad users together (and also thanks to Adam B amazing porting skills ^_^ ).
