I think there is a slight misunderstanding here...the sentence you quoted out of context makes it look like I did not understand that they are trying to stop people from bricking their Iliad, but I wrote in the next sentence that we all know their real intention...

Now, to us it looks like iRex is working on closing the "holes" to prevent people from using the community-created software. Of course we understand that it is to keep us from bricking our Iliads, but what we don't understand is why we don't rather get a "legal" way to install and run those apps.

This is the full quote and I think it makes my opinion clear.
And about the patience and understanding...well, I think we have all shown a lot of that, but we get release dates that aren't met and promises that aren't held (and let's not forget the violation of the GPL), and those who would like to help (like all the developers here) get little or no chance to do so.
Matthijs seems to be a nice guy and he does try to help, but one guy occasionally giving hints just isn't what is needed here I'm afraid. I'm not for leaving security holes and making people risk their Iliad, I'm for finally prioritizing the development in a sensible way. I can't say what the b2b stuff is doing, but from a consumer perspective it doesn't make sense to add scribble to PDF when the basic functions are still far from complete and the device is slow as hell.
