-Mac is no problem, on the irex forums there is some information available on how to configure the (wireless) filesharing on a mac Tiger and Leopard.
When you connect the iliad through UTP-wire, the iliad will just show up on your desktop.
The iliad companion software does not run on OSX, but will run on an intel mac using parallels or other vmware.

Battery life could be better, but will last for days with a few hours of reading a day.
But then, more batterylife would mean a less sleek design and heavier machine.

File manangement is OK, clear menu structure. Iliad will read DRM'ed and non'DRM'ed mobipocket filed from many vendors, no reason to commit to amazon only.

Finally it is great to be able to install "third-party" apps on the iliad like readers, browsers and games.


I have my iliad for six months now and am very happy with it. I read more books than ever and also lots of work related PDF's and manuals.
