So far, all of the issues with it seems to be things that could be fixed with firmware updates.
I've read somewehre, iRex is not sure yet, whether to implement zoom and annotation into iRex 800, but it definitely will remain available on Irex 1000S. (And on iRex iLiad of course, as there aren't any changes/updates in firmware anymore.)
