After what seems like an eternal wait, iRex will finally begin shipping its iLiad e-Reader device. This is good news as people who have been waiting for a device like this have heard nothing but rumours of shipping dates regarding the iLiad as well as Sony's e-Reader, where the latter is still hanging around in limbo. You can now read your electronic documents wherever you are on a decently sized screen, and imagine the possibilities of carrying a few years' of accounts in the e-Reader itself, instead of combing through binder after binder at the office? The one point that might throw businesses from adopting the iLiad would be the astronomically high price - it costs a whooping $810.84. You will also have to cough up more than a pretty penny for its accessories - can you imagine a stylus that costs almost $30? Chances are, most people will use their PDA or smartphone stylus as a cheaper alternative.
Pros : Device and accessories are expensive
Cons : First in the market
