Their deal with Irex might make more sense if their own reader (Athena) isn't going to be available 'till "first quarter of next year". I'd be hacked if I was Irex and B&N announce their own reader will be available before Christmas. Here you are, releasing the DR800SG at the end of October, and your partner (B&N) cuts you off at the knees by announcing on the 20th (supposedly), that their new, cheaper reader, with more interesting specs, will be available in Nov/Dec.
Stranger things have happened though. Hopefully more will be revealed on the 20th
