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.

Hmmmmmm...
I guess you've been to the wrong forums and have been misinformed.
I've bought my first iLad V2 (had been stolen after about 3 months and I had to buy another one) around October 2007. I'd have to check. But I estimate 2 maybe 3 firmware updates within one year. I wouldn't call that "constant firmware updates". And btw: There was no need for updates. I've been fine from the very beginning and have been able to compare to Sony 505 for example.
