Scraping the bottom of the barrow:

Wolfson Microelectronics' WM8352 power management/codec device has been selected to use in Irex' DR800SG eReader.

Jan van de Kamer, founder and vice president of product development at IREX Technologies, said: "We are constantly seeking partnerships with experts like Wolfson Microelectronics to help drive our innovations and we're very excited to bring the high standards of power management solutions from Wolfson to the IREX DR800SG."

The DR800SG will shortly be available in the US, with a European launch planned for the first half of 2010. The device features an 8.1in screen and 3G connectivity is said to allow users buy books anywhere at anytime.

Jess Brown, power management product line manager at Wolfson, said: "Our inclusion in the DR800SG is testament to the quality of our power management technology, as well as an endorsement of the skills and expertise of our engineering and design teams."
Here's a link to info on the chip: http://www.wolfsonmicro.com/products/WM8352

Would this be something that the DR1000x doesn't have?
