What I want to know is whether it uses vizplex, and more importantly is it's battery life now in the weeks range rather than the day range.
(I'm so used to not ever having to turn off my V2 and it still having almost a full charge even if i leave it lying around for a week) |

No it doesnt! It supports 8GB CF cards, which actually the conventional one does also, its just a little software bug that display 4GB free, altough 8 are useable.
When they bring up a new edition I would have also at least expected SD card compability.... I mean just leaving WIFI out isn't a glorious development achievement. 150€ cheaper is a nice marketing achievement whatsoever. |

See here.
I'm sure they'll have a new software release that can detect the presence of a wifi card, and disable the software functionality if it does not exist. Likely, they'll add additional features as well. Hopefully they'll release the multi-format plugin-enabled reader with the next software version. But that's only speculation. I also suspect they're going to want to release a kindle-esque book store on the iLiad. But we'll have to wait and see. |

The new software will detect the presence of the WiFi and make the device heavier if not present

That's not necessary a wifi icon. It's technically "background connect". You can use it to connect to a wired or wireless network.
