Two points in answer to this:
1. The existing docs/sdk are fine if you want to do trivial stuff like porting simple X Window apps (which I did). If you want to make the Iliad do anything useful (like last-page-autoload), or interesting (like suspend/resume), there is very little to help you.
2. I bricked my Iliad. Well - it died with a whimper after the upgrade to 2.8, and I couldn't prove it one way or the other. Fortunately IRex gave me the benefit of the doubt (thanks guys!) and didn't charge me to fix it - but I have sadly decided that this just isn't a developer-friendly machine and left it for other more hardy souls to work with. Maybe if they provide a robust unbricking solution I'll be interested enough to give it another go - but I'm beginning to doubt it.
I wish them all the best with their B2B ventures, and hope they sell lots of machines.
