1/2 chance: A large tech company that wishes to expand into ebook readers without the need to invent from scratch, buys iRex (lots of possibilites of things that could happen after that...)

1/4 chance: They sort themselves out and continue to operate independently.

1/4 chance: the company dies and we are stuck with devices with no support or firmware releases.

---------------------ITALIAN ARTICLE-----------------------------

"The FCC, the American authority which must approve any device with connectivity, denied, until last January, his approval to the DR800, thereby preventing iRex to sell that model in holiday season. Result: the whole production DR800, launched in July 2009, remained unsold, the money was spent and nothing has been received. "

why would the american authorities deny this? some kind of protectionist thing or what?
