I think it's true. Here in Italy FNAC has been selling Irex devices since march 2009.

I had hoped to view it in the MediaMarkt Groningen today, but the devices aren't on display there yet, nor did the employee I asked recall having seen the name 'irex' at all yet, either in the order system, or in a 'briefing' on new products they are going to carry.

I get this answer yesterday: Thank you for showing interest in our product. The DR800S is now available, and can be bought at our webshop. http://www.irexshop.com. Mediamerkt DE is not selling our device, the first Mediamarkt where you can buy it is Mediamarkt NL. I hope this information is sufficient, if there are any questions don't hesitate to contact us. Kind regards, iRex Technologies |

A few month ago I was surprised to see the DR1000 in the MediaMarkt in Roermond (NL). I did not have time yet to check if they have (or will get) the DR800 also.

For those of you getting the 800 tomorrow, if it comes with a manual on the device could you post it here. I was looking around the new support site and was expecting to find the manual, but they don't have any documentation posted, although they do have the software for the devices posted.

I downloaded, but never extracted Thanks for the tip. Just thought the manual might shed some additional light on the device

There are some things here, which, unless the person who formulated these replies is very bad at english, suggests with some finality that the DR800S does not and will not have note-taking capabilities.

Those are probably too generic to be of much use sine they support different drm formats the same characteristics probably don't apply to all the formats. For example they support epub with standard adobe drm as well as the new b&n drm, drm'd pdf as well as drm'd ereader files. Not bad for drm support compared to most of the readers out there.

As far as the note taking, I'm assuming that page is talking about the initial capability, which they've said all along would not include annotations. Supposedly it is being added later. (insert standard comment about buying devices based on what they can do at the time of purchase, not based on future promises) |
