I'm not very interested in surfing the net with my Iliad (at the moment), more in downloading books with a simple gui. What I like about the Iliad is that I will not need a PC for that once there is some adequate software...
I'm pretty sure that the networking stuff on the Iliad works fine (as long as you don't access the cf while doing wifi). Wget is working fine, and can be used in scripts. Curl is o.k. too. The Lua binding for libcurl is included in my lua-iliad package. I did a small
demo for Adam B. that downloads a file while showing progress.
It's easy to run a
small webserver written in Lua on the Iliad. I did an experiment a while back (my first Lua for Iliad experiment) that could do 'server side scripting'. It's only a few hundred lines of code. It's not really nice code, but it worked
For now I'll focus on downloading books... soooo much to play, soooo little time
