Good news Henrycat. 10 Hours sounds alot better than 4. I hope they still have lots of powersaving options, which are unused, to get the 21 hour normal usage they promised. (and hopefully even more, if you only read with stylus and wifi off.) But i guess i could do 10000 pageturns in 10 hours

I'm abit torn at the moment between anger at iRex for not delivering on their promises although they still have room for improvement probably) and "hopeful anxiety" about the launch...if it works our REALLY wellI could still take it along on the 5th of june, but somehow it probably will arrive one day after I've left or something...
But if there is a public holiday in the Netherlands today, they won't launch it today and if they really have 2 days then it won't start selling before monday and who know how long it takes them to ship...nah...I guess I'll have to buy another paper book for my travel to Murnau...because I don't know whether I'll be able to reload my PDA there...the houes is very old and some things don't work too well anymore... |

I don't doubt that they have a product...I just get the feeling that they slightly...misjudged...the work it takes to do the sotware side of a product properly and what it takes to market it successfully.
btw. i'm still wondering what henrycat was hinting at with his "but..." at the end of his last statement... any educated guesses? Or was he just trying to wind us up...^^ |

@henrycat
how is the user (eg you since ypu are the only one right now...) notified of updates for the Iliad? Does the device connect to the internet every time you connect it to your pc via wifi (over router?) or usb or do you have to navigate some onscreen menu and search for updates manually? Thanks. |

To update you just have to connect the device to internet, press the button on the top right corner and the device will connect to IDS and download the update. |

So you recieve an email to you computer, not the Iliad, right?
Thanks. We're all hanging around here waiting for something to happen...but I think nothing more is going to happen today. Do you know when you will recieve the new software, and whehter the "retail" models will come with this new software installed or with the version you have (or even older)? If irex already has the devices, then it would be a lot of work to update all of them...so maybe they'll just let the user do that once the device arrives. |

aha...if it has not been decided yet, then I suppose the launch is not as near as we would have hoped...a real pity actually...this means that my dream of taking the Iliad along on the 5th of june is not going to come true...

Damn you Henrycat...you are really being cryptic today...^^ Are you getting paid to lead us on a merry chase here or are you doing it just for something fun to do on a holiday...:-) |

It's a holiday in Portugal too? :-)
I'm sure Henrique has his reasons for being cryptic. |
