Why couldn't they just publish the preview on their site?

I just sent an email to the marketing guy in charge of the site asking what's going on...
In addition to requesting the review I also did the "epaper questionnaire" on the afaics.com website (the same people that run the epaper.org.uk site) and have not received anything from there either... Very strange company I must say... ![]() |

Well they updated their contact e-mail address! So if you're still waiting, you may as well want to try the updated address:

I think I actually sent an email there and even tried to phone them...guess what...no one answers...only a tape on the other end...I guess they're not in at the moment...maybe on a convention somewhere or something like that...I'll keep trying.

is it aloud to post it online? I'm too lazy to email and wait an eternity.

I'm not sure...but emailing them is no prob...the delay was apparently due to a mail-server problem...should work now.

short version:
some good new, some bad news, price given as 649Euro...wlan only for IDS. If it weren't for the price I'd buy it straight away (as soon as available). For 649Euro it's a bit too heavy...I'm not sure whether i'm willing to pay that price. |

iRex is targeting businesses and you see this reflected in the features and the price.

They apparently could not test the touchscreen interface because it was not fully implemented yet...at least the "drawing" part was not...that does not really sound like a product that is about to launch in 2-4 weeks...
and apparently has launched in some form in china... ![]() |

649eu?? That would be like $700~$800?? There goes my dreams ...
![]() Maybe I'll get a Nokia 770 + BT keyboard + extra battery pack and still come in below $500. *sigh* ... I see a few future headlines already ... "iLiad start off to lurkwarm response" "iRex still positive in having a strong quarter to end 2006" "iRex fails to meet analyst's expectations" "Will iLiad make it this time (2007)" "iRex officials admit to overproduction of iliad units" "Consumers chose Sony Reader over iLiad's superior specs" ok, I think I should stop ... ![]() |
