I must admit that i'm seriously vexed!!!

They were very clever to "delay" that message till it was too late for people to call them...I just tried and of course nobody was there...but i'll call them tomworrow and I think I might get just a bit rude.

Saying the device will launch for retail customers in a couple of days and then saying it will launch in September is just pure crookery.
This "we recommend" is a bit of an enigma, but I don't think we will get much from it.
The extended functionality will probably just be an updated software, not more and not less...
I'll try to clarify this as soon as possible...and I sure hope they're not planning on dragging this out till September after aying April and May up to today.

I'm mad enough that they didn't manage to launch anything in May, mad because I don't have a device to play with during my trip to Murnau and even more mad because they still haven't given us even one peice of useful information.

Please note that they didn't say "have launched to b2b", they are still talking about soon and almost there...

BASTARDS!!!
but the fact that they made this announcement now, shortly before closing their offices was really clever...that way we can all cool down before we get a chance to jump them...but I intend to keep my anger simmering...

the real crux is that neither Sony nor Jinke have a device that can match the Iliad...I got so hyped about it's features that I'm finding it hard to consider one of the other devices.

However, Jinke has so far responded to every one of my emails and has always been very free with information. They even visited the forums and actively answered people's questions here...so at least in that respect they are way ahead of irex.
They have however also not been able to launch anything and have postponed their "samples" (whatever that means) to june instead of may.
