Official press release posted today on irexreader.com announcing availability of the DR800SG through Best Buy online and announcing staged store availability over the coming months.
http://www.irexreader.com/pdf/IREX%2...ader_FINAL.pdf The Best Buy website still shows it as coming soon, but hopefully that means it will be shipping in the next couple of days. |

It's interesting that the manual they submitted to the FCC (somebody posted a link to it earlier) does include a section on the dictionary. I assume this is another "adding later" feature. As far as the weight, I don't know. The two numbers being different on that old page is probably just a typo. Both are higher than the number on there now... maybe that's due to a different/heavier cover with the $449 version? |

I'm curious if the U.S. market will get this pen, as shown on the irex reader website (http://www.irexreader.com):
![]() or this pen, as shown on the main irex website and what DR800S users received. I think this pen looks better than the one above. The above one looks very skinny and looks very much like the pen that comes with the iliad. ![]() Here is the 'advance' $50 stylus on the irex shop: ![]() Here is the iliad stylus, I believe. $23 on the irex shop: ![]() |

The basic stylus is probably what comes with the $399 DR800SG. The advanced stylus is probably what comes with the $449 DR800SG. They've said that one of the differences with the $449 version will be a better stylus.
Assuming, of course, that there really are going to be two versions. BB has only listed one or the other, not both at the same time. |

At $399 it will probably come with the iLiad stylus. Since the only feature that really needs it at this point is if you want to click around the menus I don't really care. I might feel different if/when annotations are available, but for now I actually prefer the smaller stylus since I will probably custom make a case and it will take up less room. If the irexreader site is accurate, we'll know one way or the other in a few days.

I'd probably expect Best Buy to start selling tomorrow at the earliest. I have a strong feeling that the launch date wasn't 100% ready on both sides.

Assuming, of course, that the 2/15 date was ever "real". It was basically just a rumor anyway. |

If it's going to be available "any day" now, why is it not listed as backordered (1 - 2 weeks delivery) instead of coming soon?

Good question. When the original posting went up back in October I believe it was showing as backordered, but ever since the new one went up it has just shown coming soon. I have to believe it's close since iRex released a press announcement today indicating immediate availability. They certainly have their issues as a company, but I don't think they would release a bogus press announcement.
