Just saw this new model they have - IE-45: http://ivie.com/
Basically the same as the IE-35, same software, the difference is that it's not a jacket for a palmtop, it's an external module with processing and inputs which connects to any PC (desktop, notebook, or in this case, a Samsung Q1) via USB. The software then runs on the PC. In the picture, it's velcroed to the back of the Q1.
I am told costs are about $500-600 more for the whole package incl. the Q1, but forgot to ask how much just the module and software is when you want to use it with your notebook.
Looks interesting, although unless you have other uses for the Samsung Q1, it might be a little bit of an overkill. But the add-on option for the notebook is probably not a bad idea at all. Not quite as practical as the IE-35 since you have to fire up your notebook when you want to run it. But still an interesting concept which might be a good choice for some users.

Now I feel bad because I think it was me who showed the IE-33 to Don and got him interested in it...
But I never actually had any serious problems with it, only that the stupid iPaq would sometimes lose its memory when not put in the cradle regularly and then you had to re-install the software which wasn't such a big deal though since Ivie then came up with that cab file which could be stored in the non-voltile memory and from which the software could be re-installed from within the unit. I always had the software on my notebook, too, so it never caused any "emergencies".
But the analyzer served me well in many adventures. Still, I think the iPaq wasn't such a good idea, and I look forward to getting the IE-35 in a few days.

I've emailed IVIE 5 times now about pricing and availability and they just cant seem to respond. I am interested in just the IE-45 add-on, if anyone know what it goes for let me know!
I have a vague idea, but I don't want to spread false information here. Who did you email? One of the regional offices? I would just call the main office in UT and ask them. I called them several times about this and that, and they always picked up the phone or always called back when not available at the moment. If you have specific technical questions, ask for Bill Raventos. But I think basically everybody there could tell you the price.

That looks interesting. There is actually one on ebay UK right now. It's apparently much bigger than the IE-35, though, and while it has a lot of functions, some of those aren't really necessary in the cinema. Do you have ones of those?
