A very good point Ali...

Mind explaining this oh official iRex people?

After all that _is_ what we _PAID_ for.

Regarding the MP3-player: my bad. That one should not be in the list (i'll remove it). I was thinking of the MP3 player that was already under development here, but forgot that it's also on our internal list.

I'll stop with this for today, before I start talking complete nonsense...

Edtorial thought...

Okay, here's a great chance to show the maturity and grace of MobileRead folks! Matthijs has clarified, so let's not take advantage and take out any pent up frustrations on him by jumping on an honest mistake, but let's stick to real items. In the midst of any disagreements, we should appreciate his openness and input, which is a benefit to all. Last thing we want is to make him have to be so careful about his phrasing of things that he's afraid to share his thoughts!

Thanks!

Here, here!

Couldn't agree more, Bob.

Well said, Bob!

Matthijs · 02-06-2007, 02:33 AM

Thanks Bob!

To Matthijs and Karel:
I don't think that it is enough to add shell feature, because after that warranty is removed. I try to get shell access, and my iLiad died. I cannot say that is because i have no experence enough. I am working as system administrator and developer for linux for 7 years! I paid for reflashing. It is not too much, but it is enough to stop to develop for iLiad. While there is no way to reflash at home, or, at least, to reset to fabric condition, nobody will develop for iLiad.

By the way, there is so much things which can do iLiad more useful and frendly (and so - more popular), but you don't want to provide more support for developers..
