I think that may be a bit unfair to iRex. Devices have successors come out all the time, almost never with any warning -- new types of products doubly so.
The iLiad has been out for almost two and a half years, it's not all that shocking that they've been working on
something during that time. The only other model they've brought out is the iLiad without wireless: a step
down. I'd remark about the hazards of being on the "bleeding edge," but after 27 months it seems to me that the blood's pretty thoroughly dried on the iLiad. The farther you get from the fresh blood, the
more likely a successor becomes in any given month, not less.
Nobody says we have to
like it, but it's not like it's some egregiously unique thing that only iRex is doing.
