I've found at least one bug that is fixed.
I got my iLiad yesterday with 2.8 and the PIN feature freezed it when used in documents. After upgrading to 2.9 it works fine
Please, allow me some words on the Companion software.
Well, it does a complete backup of the accessible memory on the first USB connect. Makes me wait for backup finishing
But the merge feature is quite nice
Although the UI is very simple it is not always intuitive
[Sorry to the non-WinXP users: I will write nothing more about the Companion software
