I don't think this has been posted before. China Interfax has an interview with Sophia Peng, vice president of iRex Technologies China, on the company's future goals. The interview is in English and can be found here:

Of course we know that something like "has a total storage capacity of 7 Gigabytes" is utterly crap, but what's interesting is that iRex is planning to reduce the price of the iLiad in China (once they increase production) from currently RMB 9500 ($1248.4) to less than RMB 7000 ($919.8). I know, crazy expensive over there, but what if they translate this >25% decrease in price to what we currently have to pay ($699)... that would lead to something around $520. Much better, wouldn't you say?
