What make you think so?
Well maybe I'm generally just more distrusting. In announcements people always announce what a device all can do, people get alll crazy about it, but only after the first people bought it, we know what it everything can't do! For the iLiad this was no different. This is a risk you don't have with say future CPUs. They bare less surprises whats not possible, not yet ready, you know the stories.
For me the possibly upcoming A4 Hanlin device might be far more worth a wait for than this windows CE device... However I heared for Hanlin you first have to convert PDFs
IMHO the current eReader market is like the CPU market in the 90ies. (it has greatly slowed down in the last years compared to that) New devices come out currently aprox. in 6 months to 1 year rhythm. So not a single point, you cannot be sure that 12 months later you will get a cheaper device which can do more.
