Thanks to you both. Didn't know about minimo.

Started to think of iLiad as sort of a low power, more portable, Linux tablet with exceptional readability but realize it doesn't have the flexibility of control, making it a different kind of animal. A little like if Apple kept going with Newton but didn't fund a software group.

I'm getting hints that it can be a client or remote desktop to a PC. Is this true?

Probably too obscure, but has anyone tried to control a Squeezebox from an iLiad? http://www.slimdevices.com/index.html

Gogolo; You may be cold but you can buy anything made in the world, see great art, hear great music and visit at least three foreign cultures within a days drive from your home. I think that here, with every day at around 27 C we lose a few IQ points. Paradise has its tradeoffs.
