I emailed IREX twice, I asked them why the DR800S was so expensive when they announced a few months ago that it would be $399...I also asked about the white leather cover and note taking feature. Second email was a reply to the first response asking the price of the US version and note taking feature....Here is their answer :

(first email response, received January 14)
