Sorry for the frustration, but I've seen this before. I have a Zaurus, and initially it was fun to port all kinds of software to it.
In the end, all the efforts turned the thing into a bad subnotebook and not a good pda, at the cost of a cheap real subnotebook. It's somewhat cool to run freeciv on it, but that doesn't help at all when there's no real calendar and my laptop runs freeciv just so much better.
I would like to see the Iliad becoming the device for reading -- which means blazingly fast rendering times and low energy consumption.
However, the disappointing truth is that the software on the Iliad is just a cheap collection of desktop software ports. You can easily port freeciv. But I cannot imagine that powersaving will ever really work. And the pdf renderer is just xpdf (which uses a lot of fpu operations, right?).
Frustrated:
