I completely disagree. You can have an open environment and encrypted documents. No problem. You can even make it pretty safe, much safer than by trying to lock people out.
I don't think they'll provide a useful SDK. I don't think they'll attract a lot of open source developers, just because they completely suck when it comes to software.
They improve battery life by a meager 22% and claim "Average battery life before recharge is greatly improved". That's not "it". Those guys who are right now developing for the iliad will not provide a stable and fast OS.
I fear the Iliad will not be a success because the software is crap. They are selling a product to be taken into a plane's cockpit, but sometimes the wireless won't shut down, and the usable time is 25% of what is advertised. This won't work. Never.
They need open source developers to fix the things they can't do themselves, but they are scaring them away.
