They will. I have a quote for a V2 but out of politeness to them, I won't put it here (msg me if you're curious).

It looks much better to me than the V8. I feel that Jinke is missing the boat in that they are pushing a 'me too!' product (the V3) when they actually have much better horses in the barn. A viziplex V2 would be an excellent alternative to the iLiad and Kindle while offering potentially great value add that none of the others can really touch.

I agree. The way I see it is that for its price/feature ratio, there's very little out there to touch the V2.
Consider this - It has a Linux OS that's potentially hackable (see
http://www.openinkpot.org/) and a touchscreen LCD. Whilst it's not _quite_ a full touchscreen eink display like the Iliad, it does have the advantage in that it's a regular LCD display that's easily updateable.
All this for less than half of what an Iliad costs. Now, can you see why I'm sorely tempted by the potential that the V2 presents...?
