I can't say that I'm surprised with the delay. I don't believe they've ever hit a date commitment! The really challenging piece for them is missing the "Black Friday" window. For the non-U.S. folks on the board that is the day after Thanksgiving and is the biggest retail day of the year in the U.S. Not having the device in the stores at that time will cost them significant holiday period sales.

I still like what I see in the DR800SG, but I continue to be amazed at how poorly iRex functions as a business.
