I just went to BestBuy's web site and a search for iRex and DR800 come up with nothing. Weren't these to be sold at BestBuy?

The more I think about this I'm guessing this is the start of the product hitting the distribution pipeline.
If we look back at Irex's previous comments about European delivery they commented it would come in 2010 once they reached carrier agreements to enable the wireless. They now communicate that they haven't reached any agreements and have opted to release a non-wireless device that was never previously mentioned. All in a very quick fashion. It sure sounds like they may have chosen to release the same product as in the US without the wireless enabled for Europe. Same hardware with a slightly different software build without the radio functionality.
Purely speculation on my part, but it seems odd they never communicated a non-wireless device before and it all of a sudden pops out of the pipeline even before the previously announced wireless device has shipped.
