And they are sharing the same booth where Qualcomm is showing off a prototype mirosol-based color reader. No wonder no one has reported one bit of information about irex...

Irex has one chance to sell their reader and that's for it to be in stores by the end of Janurary. If that doesn't happen I really don't see why anybody will favour it over the other offerings.

There's an additional video of the 800 over in the news forum if anyone hasn't seen it. Makes the device look really nice in my opinion.

It is good to see the device in use by someone not shepherded by a pr droid, like his assumption about annotation.
Now if they would get rid of the 3G and replace it with WiFi for the Europen market ( see the BeBook quote about 3G in the Neo article in the news & commentary section ) and release it, I might buy it. Or I could wait for the Onyx 8'' to be released as the way things stand this could be released first. Or give up the fence sitting and buy a Oynx 6'' ( but really want those extra few inches -- now no rude jokes please ![]() Last edited by Jumpn Jack Flash; 01-09-2010 at 11:22 AM. |

Endless waiting - with happy end?
Hello!
Here's another eBook freek waiting to get his hands on the 800SG. As long as there will be a happy end it's probably worth waiting. What's getting on my nerves ist that iRex hardly communicates with us. (in fact not at all with me - 2 Messages without an answer). Anyhow - how come there are no other 8" Readers around? Ok, one or two announces. (I cannot hear that word "announces" anymore) |

These days, I believe Epson technically also has an 8" controller, but I don't think anybody has ever used it. Not sure why. I don't know if iRex still has any deals in place with PVI making 8" eInk screens exclusive. |

Do you know if the DR800 is using the same screen as the iLiad did?

Sorry - does the DR800 not have the same size 8" screen as the iLiad? I thought that it did! My apologies if I'm mistaken.
