Speed looks really nice despite the rather bouncy video. He definitely seemed excited to get his hands on it. I'll be curious to see what Nate has to say about it.

LOL he did seem very excited. Seems like a nice piece of tech (from just the video at least).

I wish it would have occurred to him to actually open one of the books.

you know some people would bitch if they fell into a cesspool and came out with the Hope Diamond. So, it's not freaking perfect, who cares? Ya don't like it go and do the damed thing yourself or put a freaking sock in it...cripes. Sorry I even posted the video...

hehehehe...yeah, Charbax is sort of a bouncy guy...he really gets into his videos. But it's great the guy travels all over the globe doing this sort of thing. I, for one, appreciate it as he is typically very thorough and FUNNY.

that is one of the things that fell off my list. I don't think I'll be able to get back to the Freescale booth to look at it.

Thanks for posting it. It's hard to hold the camera, focus and use the stylus at the same time. I am posting all my CES videos at http://armdevices.net you can subscribe to http://armdevices.net/feed/

If that was directed at me, my apologies. I definitely appreciated the post of the video and charbax's effort to make it.

I didn't mean anything derogatory about the bouncy video, but in hindsight I can see how that could be taken negatively. My apologies and thanks for posting the video.

Did you spend any additional time playing with it that wasn't on the video? Would be very curious to hear any additional impressions you may have.

It looks really neat and responsive compared to my iLiad v2. Shame the annotation still wasn't working, though. And I wish iRex would be a bit more forthcoming with information themselves, as it seems sort of stupid to have to get this information from a somewhat haphazard youtube video.

edercito · 01-09-2010, 12:53 PM

Thank you for the video.
Has their been a definitive word on pricing? It was supposed to come with a MSRP of $399, which later changed to $449. If the former, I can't wait to try it at BestBuy when IRex finally releases this reader.

Mr. Goodbar · 01-09-2010, 01:33 PM

I seem to recall that the $449 was for a special edition version and that the basic version was still going to be $399. However, they weren't real clear on what was different between the special edition and the standard. I think it had to do with a deluxe cover and an executive wacom pen. Also, I believe only the special edition was going to be available at first, probably due to limited product in the pipeline during the initial release.

I certainly agree. How long are we to wait for more information on the release?
