Don't rush, some other players are bound to come out with big readers in the next couple of quarters too, not just iRex.

I would agree with you, but I have seen some interesting changes recently.
1. The iRex logo has changed
2. The recent press releases have a PR agency in the US mentioned on them (Text100.com)
3. On a recent post on the iRex blog there was mention of Kevin Hamilton
iRex Technologies’ North American CEO.
So it seems they have set up an organization in the US or have been taken over by an American investor / company.
Either way, we'll have to see if they can break away with their old habits of launching beta devices :-)
