Fully agreed. Then there is still the problem with volume control. I think the iLiad is a great platform for *certain* applications, but it not suited for many task I can do on a PDA or a Nokia N770/N800.

I, for example, would love to be able to read my emails (newsgroups, even forums) on the iLiad, but writing/posting is an entirely different thing.

The iLiad is perfect for static content or content which changes infrequently. I would not use it for a web browser (slow updates, battery drain), but reading content which gets gathered by long intervals (news digests, newsgroups, forums, emails). For that the combination of a daylight capable screen and WLAN is fantastic. Extensive writing is not something which I can envision.

What is the view of others on that? Oops, yes, off topic :-)
