where they want to be down the road vs. where they are now and
where they will stay. More and more readers are entering the market
especially for 2010, just how popular do you think the $900 iRex will be
when that happens? If a business model does not adjust to market
trend$, then sooner or later, they will have to eat their own demise.
(or be bought out)
The DR is being targetted squarely at the business customer, for whom $900 is really neither here nor there. I honestly don't think that they are particularly interested in the "mass market". There's room out there for specialist suppliers as well as mass market ones.
