This has been a great discussion. I enjoyed reading the rebuttals to my questions. It sometimes appears the iLiad discussions have been flat and maybe the great discussions/debates have passed before I arrived. I don't know whether there are good follow-up responses to my concern regarding USB connections or touch screen technology because I am not a mechanical engineer. These issues were probably debated during the design phase of the product and they may have had some heated discussions within iRex.
I do believe in one thing. I use to say the Pocketpc phones were not ready for primetime until recently. In other words I would never have told my father to buy the HTC 6700 but the Mogul probably and the Touch Pro definitely when it arrives on Sprint. Maybe the Kindle is ok for the general reader but the iLiad is not ready for primetime. I am not saying the iLiad has to turn into a stupid device that can't be hacked. It should remain open for the programmers and under the hood tinkers but it also needs to be easy for the casual user as well.
