As you might have noticed, we have a banner up on our website with the tagline Seeing is Believing and the date 22 September. We have been working hard on some very exciting things and on Monday we will share with you more details on what we have on the horizon. In the meantime I can add that it involves both hardware and software.
For now stay tuned, as I will add more information and details as they become available.

Whatever the news will be on Monday, I don’t want to miss it.
Are related products like the available newspapers also updated? Or will there be more newspapers available for the Irex 1000 (to bad the nice name Iliad seems to be dumped)?
Would be nice to have NRC and or aditional newspapers (e.g. financial times?) on the new reader
Good news.
Will software mean that also the iLiad will get a new firmware?
Would be nice…
Good news, hope the new reader will use Vizplex screen.
….companionsoftware for mac??
How much prices will be in China?
I am very eagerly awaiting this release!
But I am also eagerly awaiting to hear when I ll be able to own one of your new devices. Seeing might be believing, but having is making 100% sure, A 6 month sat release horizon say will be a let down.
ALSO, SUPPORT FOR THE MAC IS A MUST.
GET IT TOGETHER AND SUPPORT THE MACS THAT SEE A 45% YEAR TO YEAR GROWTH, WHILE THE REST OF THE INDUSTRY IS IN THE 5-10% MAX.
Hmm .. wonder what time the ‘announcement’ will be? .. it’s middle of the day now .. think iRex is an hour ahead of the UK? .. or at least the same time ..
It just got anounced but no word on availability or specific spec details yet.

and still no software update for the irex…
don’t give a shit about a new device, I just want a firmware that feels mature and not the beta like shit we have to date
