I agree that not all is bad about the Iliad and that our complaining makes it look worse than it is perhaps...BUT (and it's a bit but) there are some things that just can't be excused and one of them is promising things that won't be possible even with ten years of solid Software development...if there is something wrong with the hardware that makes certain features impossible, then that should have been found out about 2 days after the first prototype was created. The device in this form should never have made it onto market. We were all told that the device hardware was final and that the software was to be considered beta...but apparently the Hardware was far from being "fit for final"...
I do not know what is wrong with the Iliad's hardware...the fact that Suspend is impossible could have something to do with the internal wiring up of the keys or something...however, even without suspend the device should be able to run more than 10-15 hours in standby. I have a smartphone that can run for 150 hours standby despite having a 400Mhz processor (could be the same as in the Iliad), Wifi, GPS, Bluetooth, SD-Card slot and holding a network connection the whole time...with a 1500MaH battery...can someone explain that to me?
