That's the response time of the eInk screen, not of the stylus as such. You do get used to it. Basically, you just draw and don't wait for the "visual feedback". One quickly gets used to it.

There's also no pressure-support on the Iliad unit. I haven't read much from people actually using it though.
That's not entirely correct. The iLiad hardware has pressure support, but the stylus that iRex supply doesn't. If one replaces the stylus with one that does have pressure output, applications which support pressure will work fine with it.

I also read that the wireless support is extremely limited when it comes to any kind of web browsing. But this is just a superficial look in the last week or so. Would like to hear from people actually using the Iliad.
There is no web browser installed by default, but one can install one (one huge benefit of the iLiad over the Kindle is that one can install applications on it). I had a brief "play" with web browsing on my iLiad, but it's really not a very rewarding experience, due to the eInk screen more than anything else.
