I may be conservative, but if possible I'd rather not have too much iLiad software based on java. Don't get me wrong, I love java, one of my major projects is java (GWT actually). However in a ressource-scarce environment like the iRex iLiad, I don't think its the right place for java. Java is good for compile once, run everywhere, but if software is dedicated for the iLiad, I'd rather have a C++ compiler optimize it for the iLiad instead of being able to run everywhere. C++ is more complicated than java, but certainly not that much, anyone that got the java concepts into his head can do C++ soon as well, if he tries. In the case of mobipocketviewer iRex couldn't have helped it seem, but I don't think java is the best choice for the iLiad, if you can chose.
