Aside from not being able to buy it, there would be work involved in porting it if you could get it. Google Android is Linux based, free and open source, and a much better starting point.

Seems like other ways to get a good os on the iliad wont work either because I dont know enough about software to get it going. It would have been really awesome if that would have been possible.
The iLiad has a good OS. It simply lacks some features you want.

Maybe a pda with sunlightreadable screen is a solution for me, but only if it is really readable..somehow I doubt that the pdas have really good contrast without backlight, but maybe I am lucky and find one that is good for me. I would have preferred the iliad as a pda though. I guess I have to wait for future devices. With all that powerful hardware the iliad would be a perfect pda with a perfect screen for writing and reading.
Like I said, I can read mine outdoors just fine. Stop by http://brighthand.com and ask there. It's one of the best mobile device sites, and folks there can give you chapter and verse on devices that might meet your needs.
