I still, after 13 units, can say: iRex iLiad's OS was and is benchmark. I've mentioned some of the features often enough.
And concerning "guinea pigs": Every single one of my units does have frequent firmware updates.

I don't have iRex.
I was considering buying iLiad v2 in Nov-Dec 2008. As always, before spending money I have done a very extensive research. Visit forums including iRex. I was flabbergasted when I realised that the only good and used by most of the users s/w was s/w created by the community. Upgrades were not always a straight forward process especially when it was for s/w coming from the community. If you were not into computer, buying iRex would be a waste of money and lots of frustration. The number of bugs found and constant f/w updates was astonishing.
I am sorry if I come across aggressively but I just could not believe that a company can sell something like iRex iLiad v1 and stay in business. Thanks to enthusiasts probably. Fine by me, to each its own. That's how I came by this attitude of mine towards iRex. In my opinion when I pay
half of my monthly salary(if I don't eat ,sleep, only exist in vacuum that is) I expect the device to work almost perfectly straight from the box, maybe a few minor glitches. However, no spending hours on the forums trying to figure out how make this or that to work.
