Software release 1.02
The second minor software update for the iRex Digital Reader 1000 series is available. It is a small update that solves the following issues.
- IC firmware update for improved battery life and more accurate level indication
This makes sure the battery management IC is correctly configured for the type of battery used in the device. After a full charge and discharge cycle, you will notice that the battery life has now improved and the battery level indicator is more reliable. - Scribble Waveform update for smoother writing
This updates the Delta waveform used during writing to fix a problem that resulted in a non-optimal writing experience. Scribbled curves will now look smoother.
For more information and the download and installation instructions see the release notes
.
This software update is part of an ongoing process to improve the overall performance of the iRex Digital Reader 1000, more software updates can be expected in the near future including advanced power management that will introduce a standby and sleep mode on the iRex Digital Reader 1000.

Yesterday I voted for the 2008 presidential election on my iRex Digital Reader 1000, a world first I hope
.
My local voting official e-mailed me the absentee ballot as PDF and I transferred it to my reader. My scribbles were merged to ballot and then emailed back to the election officer.
Tinker Bell buy It was nice to known I could erase my vote and change it as much as I wanted. This way I also have a copy of what I voted in case there is ever any question of someone messing with my vote.
