I worry big time about people thinking of the iLiad as an eBook reader, not least iRex.
It is one of course, but it has the potential to be so much more as well. Given that it's the only one you can write on, the screen size, the resolution and the number of grey scales, it could be a near perfect paper replacement if only iRex would recognise it's potential and do something with the software.
We (sorry, I) need the Kindle's super simple access to content (and more content), the iliad's form factor and screen, and note taking software at least as good as
Phatpad for the pocket PC. The iLiad's software doesn't come within a million miles of that.
Of course better battery life and a colour screen would be a dream, but what we have now is adequate in that respect IMHO.
Unfortunately, despite being it's USP, note taking on the iLiad is a second class citizen, yet I see no sign at all that iRex see any point in developing it further
I've been looking to replace paper in my (building site based) work for literally years, and it's incredibly frustrating that the iLiad is so near and yet so far.
If I'd wanted an eBook reader I could have bought one for far less. What I wanted was a paper replacement.
