If the rumor is true that iLiad has been issuing and selling these devices to companies and businesses already and have locked the common people out then I am highly disappointed (I could use many other stronger adjectives here but will not denigrate this thread with profanity).

If the latter is the case then this is how I feel iLiad is treating us now:

"You little person, you don't matter. We will cater to the B2B clientele and will string you little people along till we get tired of it. Then we will dump you, and never let you touch our precious device! Well tell you to then go out and get some lesser commerically available reader (insert Sony Reader here) Hah, Hah, Hah! Your all fools!"

On a more serious note;

I am anxious to get one of these devices though at this point I am getting overwhelmingly frustrated with it. I was hoping to use this at work and sell the company on purchasing a number of them. This device - if it works correctly could have a large market in the industry that I am employed in. It was my intention to get one of these and "sell" the company on the idea. There are a lot of small companies that are not going to be willing to spend money on something until they can get an actual demonstration of it's capabilities. Employees that take the initiative may have more of a chance of marketing the company through the back door versus a salesman trying to knock down the front door.

The thing that iLiad does not understand is the myriad of uses that could be applied to with this device. They are limited by their own imagination as to what you can do with this thing. The truth of the matter is that the laity can find more applications then they could ever dream of. This fact has been proven more times than can be counted.

The preponderance of lies and innuendo forwarded by this company is disturbing. Just be truthful about this. If you don't know when it's going to be finally released say so, just don't pick arbitrary dates and then blow off your customer base when the date expires. The character of this company is strongly coming into question. I could take "We don't know exactly when we can sell this", than "It will be ready in two weeks".

The most important thing right now is not to obsess about this thing. Too often we take a want, and turn it into a need. Don't subside to this dilemma. We should turn our backs on it and get on with our lives. If they want to sell this thing to us they have our email addresses. They will contact us.

Good Luck To Us All!
