There are two issues with CF cards that I'm aware of. Note, I don't use a CF card with my iLiad, so I'm going on what I've read on here, not direct experience.

1) Wifi access is very slow when transfering files to the CF card. iRex have said that they are aware of the bug.

2) Some people have reported that when they try to transfer files via USB to a CF card in the iLiad, they get data corruption. I don't think this bug is well understood at the moment. It doesn't seem to happen to everyone, and I'm not sure if anybody has narrowed down the exact circumstances that will cause it to happen. I haven't seen any mention of it from iRex.

IMO, the safest/fastest way to get data on to a CF card for the iLiad at the moment is to use an external card reader attached to your PC. Hopefully, iRex will fix #1 above with a firmware update. I think #2 requires more investigation at the moment to figure out exactly what is going wrong for some people.
