Very true. Most of the cost of the iLiad is its screen.

And also iLiad does not have a keyboard/thumbboard, which is a standard feature of current PDAs/smartphones. I don't just feel like checking emails on the road, but also feel the need to write something on the spot. Tapping on a virtual keyboard or using handwriting recognition is no big fun at all. (And that's why iPhone doesn't appeal to me that much, despite the Apple fad.)

The iLiad does, however, have the ability to act as a USB host - you can connect an external keyboard to it.
