Given Karel's latest statements in the iRex forum.
I want to point out to everyone here that under European law there is a good chance that iRex has acted illegally if they are unable to matchthe promises laid out in their technical specifications.
Specifically:
The technical specifications of the iLiad at the time I purchased my iLiad were >21 hours batterylife. (To use their words: The operating time of the rechargable battery is more than a week without recharging) Which is currently nowhere near correct. And according to Karel the new 2007 model will require a larger battery to even get 15 hours.
European law dictates that is is against the law to give misleading advertisements for goods or services.
For people in the UK you will want to discuss this matter with the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) who deal with UK breaches of this law and are part of the European Advertising Standards Alliance and can refer cases to them where a dispute crosses national boundaries.
For those outside the UK but within Europe (or Canada, Australia, Newzealand or Brazil who are also members of the EASA) you should contact you body who deals with your country first:
