Note-taking really should be the iLiad's "claim to fame" and primary selling point, and iRex should be putting a lot of emphasis on note-taking, annotating, and note management software. But since this started as a discussion about improvements to 3d generation hardware, I think it's also fair to say that fixing the power management is critical. Having to wait 45 seconds for the unit to power up before you can jot a note is a product killer. I was astonished when iRex admitted that they wouldn't be able to add a suspend mode to fix this in software, due to a design flaw. There are a lot of ways in which they need to improve the software, but this is the big improvement that needs to occur with the hardware.
