Well, I haven't bought a Sony or iRex but got a REB 1200 instead recently (in addition to the existing 1100). For me to upgrade, the main selling points would be:

A4 or half-A4 sized form factor (something similiar to iliad)
touchscreen or some kind of input (a slave touchscreen LCD similiar to hanlin would also do)
extensibility for developing applications similiar to the iliad

To be honest, the iliad meets most of those requirements, but it's too costly at $800. Something around $350 would be better.
