Lets get this in perspective here, for us to be discussing the Illiad and the Sony ereader in the same paragraph shows what a way Irex has come with the Illiad,

However they need to ramp up development on device and also be honest about the hardware issues that prevent the device from having some kind of standby.

I think the only real way forward for the Illiad is to fully engage the community before other devices run past it in terms of updates and capability.

The Illiad might have better technology than the sony device , but if the pace of development remains the same for 2007 it will look like an also ran by the end of it.
