The txtr folks came by shortly after I started. One wanted to make a video so it could be discussed back home, and I'm glad he did. I know from the time stamp on his video that the DR800 has a boot time of well over a minute.

Long-time problem.

The firmware is very limited in its abilities. I'm shocked at how much it couldn't do:
- only one font size
- can't draw on the screen
- can't highlight
- no font choices
- dictionary didn't work

It should be able to allow one to write on a PDF though. Hmmm.
The 'edit' tools were not going to be 'ready' until 2010 but they weren't going to charge for adding them though they do with the 'DR1000S' model, an added $100 there.

The DR800SG is not ready to be released, and there is no way it could have been released in late October. I can only conclude that the original release date was an outright lie on the part of Irex.

High hopes, usually and marketing vs engineers.
