What feature does the DR 1000 provide that the Plastic Logic won't? Seems the PL does offer a lot more for a lot less. So will tablets. At least these two play in the same league?
Furthermore, I would argue that the DR 1000 could be successfully repositioned and also appeal to consumers. They have milked the price long enough, now it would make make sense to take action before the competition comes out.
I agree with you they work on that "professional/consumer" model basis. That must be the reason why they are crippling the DR 800. The problem with this thinking is that they are not alone anymore. Others are making their readers viable for business uses at much better prices.
