Yes, but how many iLiads are they going to sell? Not enough to keep iRex afloat.
Yes, but a newspaper publisher who gives away iLiads that can only access his newspapers has to make the customer subscribe for 5 years or so. The device is expensive.
One dedicated iLiad for the maps, one dedicated iLiad for the newspaper, one dedicated iLiad for the Windows Reference Manuals, one dedicated iLiad for books from Sams publishing and an iLiad for the o'Reilly books.
That does not make sense to me.

Or perhaps an alternative to those UPS thingies they want us to sign on?

Makes a lot of sense, this is a market I didn't think of.
But on the other hand, these UPS-scanner-thingies seem to work okay, why would they deploy ten thousands of iLiad based devices?

All current owners will be invited to buy one for 2/3 of the list price, which will be approximately 1/3 of the price we paid now :-)
