I've read the release, I'm not impressed.

This will enable developers to pull content from iDS for transfer to other devices or to the iLiad via a PC? What content? What is there to pull from iDS? I don't want to write software to pull content, I want to write software to push content!

The CF upgrade will hopefully be bootloader based so it can recover non-bootable iLiads. I think the release date for it is a bit late, this capability should have been in the units from the beginning. Especially with the beta software they're packing.

My repair box is in Kentucky, scheduled arrival is Monday. My Wife and I are both using our portable devices plugged into the wall now. I'm on my tethered iLiad and she's got one of the 12" Powerbooks that Apple says to yank the battery out of. Sometimes this portable technology really bites.
