Illiad will cost about 400 to 450 Euro, its weight will be around 390 g. It
will have interfaces for USB memory sticks, LAN and WLAN (more details see

According to the iRex website, the new product offers digital written
content that "can now be read as easily and conveniently as the printed word
on paper. The iRex Technologies E-reader provides true reading comfort,
flexibility and versatility. It can be read outdoors, in sunshine or shadow.
As well as reading you can also write comments, mark or underline sections,
for a true two-way paper experience."
*iRex* focuses on B2B partners with its new product. However, the new
application could also be a further step leading to the digital newspaper.
