Yes, and they have also said, several times, that the DR1000SW would be coming out soon. And promised a succession of forthcoming fixes to the DR1000S’ OS, so that we now have as many, though different, problems as ever. Inasmuch as iRex has said that the DR800 is for reading only, I can’t imagine that many people will buy based on an implied IOU.

The fact that writing (that being iRex’s strength) is not included on the DR800 suggests to me that they are having problems implementing it. That leads me to believe that the two platforms are not as similar as DR1000 owners might hope, so that we might benifit from increased sales.

It appears to me that iRex has, again, jumped the gun, and is preparing to deliver a beta product as prime.
