This was posted on Oct. 8, but I didn't see it before. The Irex CEO is giving a demo of the DR800 at what I assume is the Sept. 23 announcement of the product.
Just finished watching it. As exciting as a press release about a new toilet paper.
Look how long it took to connect to the Verizon network... it almost didn't make it. Bet they wished they included wifi at least for demo purposes. How long does it take a kindle to get to the amazon store?

I have a Kindle 2. It takes as much as two whole minutes to get connected on some days. I'd say a fairly common delay is about 45s-60s though. If I leave the wireless on all the time then it connects a bit faster, 30s maybe. Once connected the speed of the network seems okay but the speed of the Kindle is abysmal so everything takes a really long time. I think even if I knew exactly what I wanted it would take at least 5 minutes to buy it through the kindle. I never do this. I hate it. I pull out my iPhone and buy through the iPhone optimized web interface. Far faster. Far prettier.
