OK, so this sounds like a nice document viewer, for reading at home it might also be nice (a bit big for reading on the go though) and I think many comic lovers will be rather fond of the bigger screen as well.
One thing worries me thought:
Battery Life (big surprise there for those who know me...
).
It is stated as 24 hours, the original Iliad was stated at 21 hours back when it was launched. Now, I just got a new mobile phone which runs a 528Mhz Qualcomm processor. When in Standby (but connected to network) it will last for 360-460 (depending on the band) hours on a 1350mAh battery. Now, if the rated 24 hours of the Iliad successor are the idle time, then I'm seriously worried that they did not do suspend this time either...
24 hours of continuos page-flipping would be cool though...
For business users this would not be a big problem, but for somebody who does mainly leasure reading it would be a rather big letdown...especially if the booting times are as slow as on the Iliad.
But we'll see, I guess somebody will be able to tell us more soon.
Has anyone here asked for a review model yet?
