I totally agree but I still think the venting and frustration being felt is pervasive. This isn't a case were people are trolling and throwing out unfounded complaints. It appears the complaints are genuine and I find them extremely helpful in making purchasing decisions. I really appreciate this group as the people here scrutinize the products more than the casual buyer and give a better insight into not only the form and function but the technical as well. Also, in this type of active group I would expect those who have an Iliad to counterpoint the negative posts and those have been far and few.
While the 8 inch screen is my heart's desire, my brain will be happy with a 6 inch device if it does what I want it to do while receiving good and responsive support which the Irex "seems" to lack at this point. Time will tell but I don't think I will be an early adopter of this product which is sort of killing me since I am such a gadget guy and that 8 inch screen is calling my name.
