Why can't the Iliad be like the Nokia n800? Both run Linux, both have WiFi. But unlike the Nokia, Iliad has virtually no 3rd-party apps that run correctly. I use FBReader on both. The Iliad version works, sort of, as long as you don't quit it. But it's full of bugs and lacks many of the most important features of the Nokia version. Updating apps on the Nokia is easy -- you just go to the application manager and it's automatic. Of course, there are other obvious things about the Iliad that need to be improved. But if the device is ever to become useful to many people, it has to be opened up to developers in such a way that apps actually work. How about fixing the screen refresh problem?
