Have there been other posts about iRex producing a color device? This article quotes (or paraphrases) iRex CEO Hans Brons as confirming a color iRex device for 2010.
On the issue of iRex and screw ups. I think many would agree that iRex devices have not reached their full potential. This is partially from "mistakes" iRex has made but more importantly because as a small company they don't have enough resources to implement even "obvious" enhancements to the existing devices. If someone like News Corp spent some serious money on iRex designs both iRex and News Corp would benefit. The wireless DR1000 variant, for example, would be a good newspaper delivery system with the right hardware and software. Perhaps the (otherwise very strange) delay in releasing this device is due to some radical rethinking of what it would do - I certainly hope so.
