Sorry for the double post!
Q: Will iRex continue to support the iLiad with new firmware?
A: We will continue to support the iLiad but we have no
immediate plans to add new functionalities.
This is different from what it said in this post:
"So we will continue to support the iLiad and yes there might be new firmware updates for the iLiad, however we do not plan to introduce new functionalities for the iLiad."

Two alternatives:
1) There is hope after all
2) The FAQ contains a politician's way of saying what is stated in the post.
