I used to keep close eye on iRex and their products.
To me, their products were waaaay overpriced.
Their first product failed miserably to deliver promised key features, such as battery life. And their Public Relation handling of the resulting situation was pathetic.
Yet, I think we should deeply mourn their demise.
They moved the entire e-ink reader industry forward.
They were pioneers conquering and charting the unknown land of e-ink readers.
Also, I fear that if they fail other companies might be more reluctant to come with new, revolutionary ebook readers.
