Guys, I'm going to go all moderator on you all right now if you don't calm down.
Stop attacking each other, stay on topic and keep discussing the real problems. The fact that jęd will hold to his position no matter what happens should be pretty clear to everybody. Just stop yelling at each other.
Thanks.
How about sending some PM and email messages to Karel and co. to get some more answers? That might help clear up the situation and put the pressure on those people who really deserve some. I have some information from Angel from a while back as to the origins of some of these Iliad problems and why iRex has so much trouble fixing them, but I'm not supposed to talk about it (and I don't want to get Angel into trouble by doing so) so i can't tell you that and I also have no way of knowing who really caused the mess...
The fact is, that we stand at a point right now where a company is admitting (more or les) that it miscalculated badly and has no way of fixing the problems in software (they are reducing the specs...) so they are planing on releasing new hardware which looks like something they should have done right when the problem appeared, thus preventing loads of people from buying devices that were doomed to be "crippled".
Maybe the Iliad Rev. 2 will have a chance on the wider market...but it depends on what they are going to change. A larger battery alone would be foolish, no more and no less. What use is eink if you fail to use one of it's two main advantages?
