Me too. I had high hopes that they actually learned something from the iLiad, but it's beginning to look like a repeat.
I can understand them wanting to get a jump on announcing the product prior to Sony's event, but maybe they should have delayed shipping a few more weeks to get some additional features (like power management) in the release. This comment on the iRex forum from an employee:
"Also, we have some power management features working in a lab environment already, but we still need to iron out the wrinkles..." gives me some concern. Mentioning "some power management features" doesn't give me a lot of confidence. I'm beginning to wonder if they really have much done in the way of power management and that there battery life claims are once again not based on anything real, but pure speculation on what they might achieve.
It is certainly beginning to feel like a repeat of the iLiad fiasco.
