One thing to note though, is that irex use a 400mhz processor rather than the standard 200mhz. Doing that must of involved extra expense during the r&d phase and so they must of had a good reason for it. That might be just because their experience lay firmly with the intel chip, or that the extra features they demanded from the stylus required more cpu power.
If it is the latter, then the v9 might not have the raw power to handle annotation and the like because it only has the 200mhz samsung chip.
The power of the CPU is an excellent issue. How much slower is the Samsung then the Intel? The iLiad was designed to be open and for that, I think hang a more powerful processor is a definate plus.
