iRex Reader 1000
Details are starting to emerge about iRex's new reading device lineup.
There will be 3 10.2 ince devices. One base model, one with the touch screen, and the third with wifi, bluetooth, and 3g.
This is exciting news. I've always wanted the iLiad to be a little bit bigger. I mostly use mine for business purposes (notes in meetings, reading documents, etc). A bigger screen will be great for a paper alternative. Especially if the device will be able read more documents natively.
It'll be interesting to see the device and user interface. I assume they're going to use the same software for the touchscreen and non touchscreen versions. Maybe they will have more buttons and a scroll wheel like the kindle, or maybe use context menus like the cybook. Time will tell.
I do know for sure that I intend to buy the top level unit with all the bells and whistles. I'll have to start saving now though... I do intend to keep developing and porting for the platform. This is going to be an exciting time.
A quick overview of what we know:
- Name: iRex Reader 1000
- 10.2 Inch Screen
- eBook (Mobipocket?), PDF, Word, and html support (probably others)
- Stylus input (wacom?)

- 3 Versions
- Base - $650
- Touch Screen - $750
- Touchscreen + Bluetooth, Wifi, and 3G, $850
- 16 levels of greyscale

Do you mind if I ask how good it is with A4 pdf reports etc. ( The version2 that is ? ).
Does it scale down the picture and is it still readable ?
I guess that may be the reason for the larger device.
