Everybody please meditate :-)
While I agree that very important stuff is still missing and while I'm not happy with iRex' decision concerning platform (hell, what's sooo bad about Java?) and process (smb?) this update solves a very important problem and makes the iLiad a much more valuable tool for many people's uses.
Transferring data easily and automatically is a _very_ important thing and a big step to take. And publishing more sourcecode is very important, too.
Data transfer works fine with the Mac, too. Just (set up an extra account and) activate windows-sharing. If you don't know your workgroup, it's in /etc/smb.conf. Your sharename is your username.
And yes, pen calibration is an important point still missing and it is a thing that we won't be able to implement independantly and that I really miss. But MP3 playback, well...
And I'm confident that there will be a way to "hack" a little with the data-transfer process to make it work my way.
...and I'm extremely happy with the non-anti-aliased font-rendering!
