Hi fellow members, Another update ! Just heard from Libresco (their local MD is excellent) that they have just received stock in UK ! I agree with Pilotbob that going from 4 devices to 1 is a big change. Actually it was 3 (for now), one for me & one each for son (law student) & daughter (medical student) based upon the fact that I spent many years as a student & then trainee being bound to desks or lugging heavy textbooks around. I went from 3 potential DRs to 1 tablet because my sprogs don't wish to lug a heavier tablet pc around but can see the advantages of DR with its much lower weight. If Irex can pull its socks up & fix bugs & sort out battery life, this looks like a great device. The screen size & light weight attracted me to it first but the other goings on put me off. However, I did have qualms about the weight of tablet pcs (I have a Motion tablet 1.7kg which is a bit knackered & I prefer to use it on desk rather than hold it as it does pull my arm off after a while !) but at least they are readily available & battery life is fast catching up (looks like most tablets or umpcs can beat DR's battery life as it stands). I have emailed Libresco that if they can deliver asap I will still stick with DR. Only caveat is if Irex (in its infinite wisdom) decided to use a single 1300mah battery in the DR, will firmware upgrades be enough to increase battery life substantially, when the battery itself is a bit of a wimp from the start !!? In any case, if Libresco can deliver quickly, I will not cancel because its MD's technical knowledge & response time is very good & quick (outstanding in fact). I will probably bite the bullet & get 1 first, try it out & buy the others later. At least it is good news from Libresco that DRs are in stock in UK. As you all have taken the trouble of reading my long winded postings, I will reciprocate by posting a review of the device if it does arrive & I don't cancel. Thanks to you all. Raj
