Once the device is "finished" they should start working on the various add-ons, one of them the refinement of notetaking, so i think before the end of the year it should be done.

Or maybe some of the users here in mobileread could create their own application
Thanks for the answer Henrycat, let me know if you hear anything else!

I find this move unfortunate and strange since the features page of the iliad says
"Use the iLiad as your notepad."

I mean, there's not much to adding it if it already supports annotation. Well I'm not buying it if it doesn't have that. It's got to replace my pad of paper and at least some of all the magazines I carry in my laptop bag to be of any use to me. Hopefully they'll add it to the consumer version. Otherwise the touchscreen is just a waste of time and money.
