It will be a miracle if iRex comes out of bankruptcy and makes it as a business. They will be competing in a market:
1) with an iPad that is cheaper than all of their eReaders
2) where the closest competitors are selling at a fraction of the cost
3) where their competitors can make money selling the eBooks so can take a loss on the hardware
4) where the latest eInk screens are only available to Sony and Amazon for the first 3-6 months (I just read this on the internet so it may not be true).
They are going to have to figure out their business plan and do it fast.
