The points are well taken. This forum is invaluable for researching facts and opinions. When I initially looked at the market I was very nervous about the Irex customer service feedback as well as general comments. However, the experience has been positive and since I have had no problems I can't vouch for any. The 800 sounds promising, as do many new products on this site, but to date I think part of the controversy is that no one has really dominated the market yet with that balance of features and cost.

I am sure 5 years from now some models will have color, 4 DuoCore processors, WiFi, 5G, 1TB of memory, 6mos battery, and a lifetime of documents in the device. Somehow, just an extremely efficient b&w unit with Adobe PDF suite of full editing and highlighting would be fine with me. After all, it is books. IMO it would be better to be extremely good at the niche instead of a full 2lb tablet running MS or Mac OS. I scan everything now and being totally business and personally paperless would be great with light weight.
