Pros:
WiFi: To me, way more important than 3G.
SD card: Easy to exchange, standard SD card.
Touchscreen plus jogdial: Obviously I prefer the touchscreen. But even without stylus you have the same functionality as for example with Sony 300.
Mobipocket support: Great, I really missed that.
PDB support: Haven't tried it yet, but it's in the manual.
Zoom: It's got the "intelligent" zoom we know from iRex iLiad (marking any area via stylus and exploding to full screen). For the moment, that's missing on iRex 800.
Cons:
Metadata: So far, it only does show the filenames, not the metadata. I don't like that at all.
WiFi data: It doesn't remember my standard network, so I can't login automatically.

About the wifi : With the new firmware 1.4, there is a better gestion of wifi connection.
1/ You can now have in memory login and passwd for a quick connection, or for your pressdisplay reader account, or ...
2/ You have a gestion of WEP, WPA, WPA2 and encryption TKIP, AES for many providers or network.
3/ When you have a lots of wifi acces, you can now turn pages in order to find your provider (yes, downtow sometimes you can have more than 10 access points and don't find your on the first page !!).
4/ Proxy management if you want to go outside your buisness network (or to access of your university subscription).
For me it was a real progress about this new firmware and it allow me to download easier my newspaper directly on wifi ! It change my point of view of the book since this new firmware.
