I have high hopes for the next Vox firmware update and hope it'll be rolled out soon. In spite of running on the relatively advanced Android OS, the Vox is still some way behind the iOS app as we all know. It would really benefit from:

*Facebook timeline support
*A more intuitive dictionary lookup system
*Faces and Places support
*A wider selection of virtual shelf and bookmark options
*Broader RL stat support (for example, times of day)
*A broader selection of awards (quite a few of the existing ones are still iOS only)

The Vox even lacks a feature which would appear to be pretty basic feature for an ereader, one which has already been added to the barebones Touch: a 'search within book' function.
I really cannot see why there shouldn't a rough feature parity between the Vox and the iOS apps - and I say that as someone with both an iPhone and an iPad.
