And, how good will the annotation feature be compared to the iLiad?

Great to see a company that listens to the community!

I'm not sure how much a CE license costs, but for Windows Mobile I believe it is around $5/unit. Considering that for that cost OEMs get a lot of support from Microsoft with integration, driver development, testing, certification, etc, using Linux is not necessarily a cost saver.
