Just my 2 cents regarding...
Offline Browsing:
You can use the Microsoft Internet Explorer to save a complete Web page. Selecting the appropriate "save as..." option will result in a website and a directory with all the additional files inside it. Copying file and directory on the Illiad should work.
Browsing PC files:
Apparently the Illiad is using a Linux operating system, isn't it?
I am pretty sure that some geek will compile samba and a terminal application for it. This way we freaks ;-) could be able to browse our shared windows directories.
Irex would not have to support these features, but they could compile all the applications which are necessary to pimp up the Illiad and we freaks would be able to use them while the casual business user wouldn't even know that what about the additional possibilities.
What I would like to have even with a 1fps refresh rate:
- full blown internet acess with email and ftp client
- calendar, to do list, notes and contact list with Outlook synchronisation
- printing over network
- very special but with great potential: xThinks handwritten computer algebra system
Just send an Illiad to some of the geeks you can find on the
Zaurus User Group and - believe me - they will do everything with it.
