entourage eDGe Software hands on: Netbook/Ebook Love Child!!

[pewterbot9]

Entourage Systems, Inc. has suddenly discontinued both their original, and pocket, eDGe Dualbooks as of late May 2011. Here is a new, unofficial support forum for all you orphaned users (run by an avid user who is not associated in any way, with the company...totally free, no strings attached):

Why not just get a tablet laptop? The eInk I'm sure has an additional layer on top to recognize input, making the text blurier, and making reading on this harder. I really don't see the point of this where tablets are around. I can put my Sony reader in my back pocket. Not this. So it won't beat dedicated readers.

[2l4te]

actually the touchlayer is under the e-ink display like a wacom, not making it blurry

[jensenzo]

@fafaforza the sensitive layer is under the eink layer.

two things that might be interesting: with a following device to this it should be able to detach one side from the other - and there should also be a built in smartphone which

can be detached when needed. an all-in-one

device (also photo- and videocam and projector) would be nice.

[DejectedPanda]

I'm impressed. Too bad I already bought a Kindle 2.

[hoelk]

cann the on-screen keyboard only be used with the pen or do fingers also work? and is it possible to make it full-screen?

[kroflinkristian]

@hoelk: would be nice if the keyboard could be set that it automatically changes with angle you´re holding the device.

[xXxDragunov14xXx]

Looks awesome!

[mootiverse]

Will pay extra if "Amy" comes with the device. As an aside, Entourage headquarters is right down the street from me.

The processor is a Marvell Armada PXA168

Battery Life is 16 Hours with E-Ink only

6 Hours with LCD

the edge is actually pretty impressive compared to what is out right now, but when it is released in february it could be a whole new ball game, what with smart books and faster arm cpus, and perhaps slate format smartbooks or the apple tablet

[CiphersSon]

I literally probably going ot buy a erearder today i wish this was available...

[puzzud]

This may be a rare situation where the way you used the word "literally" may actually be grammatically correct.

[DejectedPanda]

@puzzud Literally blew my mind.
