Same from my site.
I already wanted to order this device but thought it might be a good idea just to wait some more weeks. Now that I'm reading that the guys of iRex still don't know if they're going to implement pdf zoom and annotation I'm not going to buy this device until they implement it.
I'm also NOT buying a DR1000. It's ugly, expensive and to big for what I want it for.

The DR800S(G) would be a perfect device if it had a pdf zoom + annotation feature. Great size, pretty fast, nice design and the price would be totally ok with this features. Without those features it totally overpriced.

As long as iRex is not talking about implementing this features, or better, as long as the two features are not available (because they already promised them and now they don't know if they will implement them) I'll wait and see what else is entering the market. If there will be another comparable device I'll buy it right away.

For iRex those kind of games could be a real killer. Overpriced devices (because of missing features), missing features, promising things that they don't deliver etc.
They should start thinking of gaining some market shares with the devices like the DR800S(G) that have comparable features like the competitor. I'm pretty sure they can gain a lot of market share as long as they implement what they promise. The devices are great. They look awesome (except the DR1000 ;-)). They are fast. The quality is great. The prices are ok. I'd expect the DR800S(G) to be THE eInk reader on the market if it has pdf zoom + annotation.

Just my 2 cents
