No ereader device could ever be worth 650 Euro...

i'd buy the Iliad straight away anyway because it's finally a piece of useful technology and only by buying these early and unrealistically priced devices can we at least give them a chance at success.

The fact that iRex is keeping us in the dark is however making me very very angry. I was really hoping to take it along on my trip.
I thought in April that I had a lot of time to spare, that nothing could possibly go wring. When the delay was announced I thought "still no problem", it'll arrive on time even if they badly misjudged. Then it started getting closwer and closer, but Henrycat told us "not to worry" (not in these words, but basically he said just that) and I had hope again.
Now the point is reached where I have to admit defeat.
And I don't like doing that..call me obsessed if you like...I know I am...^^

The question is, what is still going wrong. Henricat has a device and it seems to work ok apart from the missing software features. iRex never had any chance of getting a complete software by the end of May, so they must have taking that into account. So if the software on Henryca't deivce is the one we're going to get, why is there still adelay?

There are only two parties that could shed some light on this matter, Henrycat (becaseu he has some links to iRex) and iRex themselves.
Unfortunately iRex is apparently not talking to anyone including Henrycat at that moment and the nice lady on the phone still said "a couple of days, but she can't be more precise" on monday...

Oh by the way....has anyone found out more about the chinese iliad yet?
