iRex North American CEO Kevin Hamilton says the new product will have about the footprint of the Kindle 2 but with an 8-inch display (because it has a smaller bezel), with a stylus-enabled touch screen.
He says the goal is for this to be a "universal document reader," supporting the ePub standard, Microsoft reader, Barnes and Noble, PDFs, etc. While a formal price isn't available yet, he said he expected it to be competitive with the Kindle.

Given the timing (too soon to be B&N ePub), the DR800 probably includes eReader DRM and Adobe DRM (ePub and PDF). It therefore won't include MOBI DRM (which is currently supported by the iLiad and DR1000S). I'm not sure what the inclusion of LIT means. When I commented on teleread that no Linux device has LIT support I was reminded that Jinke has it (poorly, and without DRM) on the Hanlins. On the other hand perhaps "Microsoft reader" means MS Office formats rather than LIT
