But why do you want to browse with the iLiad? It's like saying you want to browse with MS Word instead of/as well as Internet Explorer! The iLiad is clearly a document reader, not a browser. Sure, it connects to the internet, but for a very specific content-fetching function, why must ALL connections be used for browsing? One day in the future, we'll have the ideal machine that can do it all, probably changing screen size according to function (or shooting the info directly into our brain, who knows), but this is not it, methinks.
From personal experience, all hybrids in ANY field lose specific quality in exchange for doing more than one thing... having hybrids is often convenient, true, but that doesn't mean we should get rid of all specific appliances, eh? I have been waiting for years for something that ONLY read books, getting rid of weight, battery drain, wrong screen, extra buttons... I want an electronic paperback, and it looks like we're finally getting it!
