I agree no B2B customers would be happy with the power management of the device.
However the thing is, that you only have to charge the irex approximately once a day or less (which you would do with a PDA anyway), not 3 times.
Even if the software is not ready it is already functional so I think worth the 850 USD it costs. If you put in a 4GB (or god forbid 8GB) memory card you can take all your documents with you and read whenever you want.
We will see at least 1 release of software update (2.7) for sure, the rest I don't know, hopefully the company will operate a few more months, by that time all issues can be sorted out and it will be way better than the Sony.

Taking notes is owesome, as good as on a tablet pc.
I am not particularly waiting for newspapers to read on it, because I usually read when I am at work and the internet is quite good for that, while at home I have much more important things to do (reading books & learning basically)
