An interview with someone in Eindhoven regarding future plans would be great! They did pioneering work in a very underdeveloped market and actually came up with a great product.
Well they did delivere iLiads to france newspapers with a 3G device attached to get newspapers over air... I think the project was called "orange" or so. Don't know what became of that...
