Unfortunately, the delivery didn't arrive today. I am tracking the delivery on-line and thought that it would travel from Sydney to Melbourne during the night, but it didn't and it only arrived in Melbourne this evening....so looks like a delivery on Monday now.
So, I don't get to play with it over the weekend and when it arrives on Monday I will be in a Java training course. Oh well. I will be able to grab it during a break in my course (since the course is at my work and the iLaid is being delivered there too) and connect it up to charge. I am sure that I will wish that I could play with it.

Hi Thomas, yes, I will love SSHing and messing around, I am sure. Looking forward to it. How much time do you spend 'playing' with it and how much time do you just spend reading? I am interested to see what I do myself.

gromit62, I think that you are correct with the difference, v2 has WiFi and the Book Edition doesn't. I contemplated which one to get, WiFi would not be necessary for me if I was just going to read books, but I love to play with my gadgets and I thought that I would find it useful to have WiFi since I have it both at home and at work (although the WiFi at work is often tricky/impossible with some devices due to the highly secure network used).
