I seriously doubt if there even
is a consumer market for this device.
Further more, the B2B market is no more than a re-sale from businesses that will be selling devices to individual customers in the next months.
Businesses that will find out that the average Joe customer isn't the least bit interested in an ebook device.
As long as an ebook device needs a manual, people will be buying their newspapers and books in paper 'format'.
And as long as you need a pc, lan or any kind of modem to download books in your device, you have instantly lost about 80% of any kind of customer market.
Irex should realise that there is no safe market for this device other than first wave gizmo lovers and a small group of fanatic book readers.
Hey...that's us isn't it?
