Sorry, I'm not a native english speaker so I'll politely expand my logic here:
1. The faq you pointed to says literally: "Although the business focus of iRex Technologies is Business-to-Business solutions, we will also make our product available for individuals, who can order via our iRex Technologies web retail. (April 2006)". If I understand correctly, "web retail" is the same as "web shop", and "product" means "iLiad" (what else are they making?). When I said "release" I meant "release for individuals", which I omitted since most posters here are indiduals speaking for themselves.
2. I understood the web shop was announced to open by mid April. Since the purpose of the shop is to sell the device to individuals, I inferred that opening the shop is the same as releasing the iLiad for individuals.
3. It follows (please correct me if I'm wrong) that if they announce that the web shop is delayed from April (original opening date) to May, then they are announcing that the iLiad will be for sale on May, unless they mean to open the shop with no items for sale (which is absurd), or that they include IDS in the webshop release concept, which is pointless unless your company gets you a unit (or you are Henrycat
). So if they don't believe the iLiad will be ready for May, then they are at least lacking in transparency towards individual users.
