(c) Are there any external battery packs that one could use in case I wanted to make heavy use of the iLiad on, say, a 14 hour flight?

(d) Does the iLiad come with everything out of the box? Stylus, USB charging cable etc. I also see other styli for sale on some websites. Is the included stylus limited in some way?
The WiFi is off by default.

The battery life is always quoted with WiFi off. Somewhere in the 12-15 hour range is probably right, except that making notes with the stylus drains the battery faster.

The issue with external battery packs is that the travel hub is the charger. I don't know if there are work arounds to allow external power.

Everything you need is included.
