I absolutely agree about the Unique Selling Point thing. Coming from the scientifc edge, I see also a lot of other iliad users on the forum using the iLiad academic tasks. *Working* with texts is esential and quite different to reading for enjoying, the scribble feature on PDFs is a must, but yet also agree the software is second class when it comes to making notes to text. (Additionally the pointing gap is really the thing most people I borrow the device a few minutes quickly get frustrated with.)
About the application porting stuff, I think its important not to realize the iliad as small computer with a nice screen, but as an "active paper". Appllications will have to give you the feeling you still work with paper... only its a bit more "intelligent" here and there than real paper can offer you.
As negative example see this calendar application port, I know there is a calendar pdf available, however the wish would be having a "smart" paper calendar, some kind of hybrid. And I believe Adam B. when says the unavailability of the "iliad scribble interface" to 3rd party applications is a real show stopper here.
