As I understood it, they said that the software was not ready. The hardware was supposed to be the final version.
Then they admitted that they never will get to 21 hours of usage with the current hardware.

As far as I know IREX always made it clear that their product is an early version, plus at least they have opened it up completely.

Yes, they made it clear. They saying that the product is not ready, doesn't mean that they don't have to keep what they promised. The original deadlines for many promised features were months ago. And it's not like these were some vague promises. We have the original spec sheets, forum posts etc.
I agree that complying with GPL and the open and patient attitude of some of their employees(Karel and Matthjs) are good qualities. Those are the reasons why I am not angry, just a bit disappointed. And because iRex
is a new and promising company, I don't want hurt them any more than I have to. The case would be very different with Sony, because they have the resources and the experience to know better.
