For me it's not important if it's April or June, as far as they include these features. Now, let's change, my profile to "waiting the arrival of DR800S" ;-) |

Thanks everyone for the comments on why zooming is needed. As some of you guessed, we engineers know perfectly well why zooming is needed.
Your comments have helped to change the original decision not to do zooming (as you can see from the 'leaked' feature list posted above). |

Now if we can just get a positive comment from Matthijs about the dictionary I'll be happy.

For me the one critical missing item is dictionary support. Please emphasize the need for this. I don't even care if I have to add my own dictionary, but the lack of this feature is the current critical gap when compared to the Sony 900, Kindle's, et al. |

I hope the "fit width" zoom in landscape mode (which Sony 900 does) will be included in the upcoming firmware release.
Anyway, it is great to see how the IREX management is reacting to the users/potential users. If the marketing or management teams can read all the 800SG reviews, they should realize the great impact on sales if they incorporate the Sony 900's software features. Just as this review pointed out: The Best eReader? - iRONY DRS-850 http://www.the-ebook-reader.com/irex-vs-sony.html |

I am glad that IREX will incorporate "note taking" app and selection zoom. I have the DR800SG ordered and on its way. Now if we can get dictionary that would awesome. I find having it is very useful.

It would be nice to know for sure though, and if there are currently plans to add it. |
