Hi!

Just to pass the time:
Post your Iliad order status here if you have already ordered.
You can also use this thread to complain if you Iliad isn't shipped yet...and go over to the meditation thread afterwards...^^

I'm in the 'other' category, hoping for the DRM info before a final decision.

My iLiad is not shipped yet. It wont arrive tomorrow.
*me very angry*
AAAARRRRGGGGHHH!

Well, order 620. I figure DRM will follow soon (crosses fingers, toes...)

DRM will follow soon (crosses fingers, toes...)

no Iliad -> no unauthorized copies -> DRM that really works

well, i want my iLiad. (And it is mine, because i have already paid for it)
Do you think i can drive to Dueren (Dueren in NRW, right?) tomorrow and pick it up?

Ask iRex...but i don't think so...nice avatgar change by the way...^^

If this does not work, we can still send out a friend of mine in the Phillipines.... *eg*

Thats a good idea. Call him. Call him right now. MAYBE HE CAN GET ON A PLANE AND BE HERE BY TOMORROW. CALLL HIMM!!!

*moves to the meditation thread*

I think we need a Poll which excuse they have tomorrow. There are so much options out there ... From easiest "Ship sunk" to more complex like "Wow uh oh the costum makes problems shipping them out now" or "Phew we didn't know we have to contact UPS now we have to take another week to find out how to make them picking up all the packages" ....

And another poll what delay it'll be this time ... until monday? Or 1 week? Ah i can see it "Delivery starts on 1st August"

Sorry i need extreme meditation and a lot of drugs to believe this whole "SAP implementation" something and the "just not arrived yet but tomorrow" fairy tale.

Ah yes my status is "Already ripped of - but not delivered yet" :jester:

Please go to the meditiation thread immediately!

But on a serious side:
I hope that their stockpoint is already a UPS customer, because if not this could really lead to another delay. But that would be really unprofessional...

Ok, i cant keep quiet anymore, i have to tell you the truth.

THERE IS NO ILIAD.

iRex Technologies is a group of very talented young film students and CGI artists. they fabricated the whole thing and used lots of CGI to create al the videos and images we have seen so far.

Oh, and Henrycat is a bot that automatically replies with random information in unregular intervalls. Nice feature they build together there.

The homepage is not working so great, because none of the moviegeeks had a clue about HTML or PHP when they started. And so they invented this bogous webcompany from Germany, so they could blame someone else for that.

And when they found out, that they could let us help to help them to find people willing to give them lots of money, they were so overwhelemed by the uge numbers of people running into the sales trap, like lemmings over a cliff. And since still orders are coming in, they had to make up something new. But they didnt coordinate very well, and thats why we have the iLiads on a ship from the phillipines and a bad SAP connection.

But in a few days, when one of us, drive to Eindhoven and takes a look at the office, they will find nothing but lots of posters of mauritius and a very lonley answering machine. And on the floor a few sketches of the package design of our beloved iLiad.

ROOOOOOOOFL

good news everyone...iRex just told me that they are shipping. The first batch should receive their confirmation tomorrow.

I'm looking forward to seeing the reactions here...^^

Unfortunately I'll be missing some of the action because I'll be out of town tomorrow afternoon...:-)

Any idea of the batch size?

Unfortunately that information wasn't provided...angel ancin just didn't know the number by heart...^^

"Inviting US already. We placed that statement because we didn’t know when the problem with accepting USD was going to be sold.

Everybody that ordered before a certain date (that I do not know by heart) will receive the iliad in the same batch."

"Unfortunately not every body ordered. About 20 in your 69 ordered. But good work anyway ;-)



We are shipping. I will change order status tomorrow. UPS tracking number will be sent in a separate email from our logistics partner."

Can't say fairer than that?

I'm looking forward to seeing the reactions here...^^

Seeing is believing. ;-)

why ask for an invite and not order?, weird eh.
wonder how well i can time a page turn and finishing the page at the same time lol.
hope they soon fix that page turning speed.

i don't think there will be an 'issue' here. supporting drm on the iliad just means, that the device will be able to display drm'ed files (like pdfs you bought at amazon or mobipocket books).
it's a feature (and a good one, too) not something bad that restricts the iliad. it expands it's functionality.

right you are.
I don't like DRM, but if we have to live ina world where it exists i'd like a device that can handle it.

That was the intent of the message - not that I wanted a closed system but that I can read books from the library (which is on a different thread here....somewhere.....)

Not necessarily weird. Remember, the site doesn't 'officially' open until September. And isn't half of Europe on holiday this month (and the other half net month)?

Could be a lot of reasons to wait a few days before the final decision.
