Business Can Pay?
As expected the new iRex Digital Reader landed today. Geared towards the business user and to compete with the Plastic Logic unit, it has a 10.2-inch screen, is Ion battery-powered, is of course black and white only e-ink device. Prices start at a hefty $649 for the Digital Reader 1000, and if you want a stylus $749 on the 1000S and then if you need those essential pieces WiFi, Bluetooth and that 3G data connectivity the 1000SW costs $849.
Market Pricing is obviously not a strength at iRex.
