Judie post on the the Android based enTourage eDGe back in November. To refresh your memory…
The enTourage eDGe is a dual-screen, WiFi-enabled device that has optional access to 3G networks for fast and easy data transfers. The left side of the enTourage eDGe features a 9.7” diagonal e-paper display, serving as an e-reader or notebook that comes with many built-in applications. The enTourage eDGe allows users to read e-books in PDF and EPUB format and take notes or draw diagrams for easy storing on the device while they are top-of-mind, such as during a class or meeting.
The right side of the enTourage eDGe is a 10.1” LCD screen equipped with a touch screen interface to easily browse email, surf the Internet, watch movies or listen to MP3s. The enTourage eDGe supports Bluetooth® keyboards so users can conveniently type notes, emails and IMs. These two unique screens also work together to help individuals access information faster. For example, a user can highlight a word from the e-paper screen, and drag it to a Web browser on the LCD screen to search for definitions, images and so forth. For increased access to documents, users can choose between email attachments, USB drives, direct PC drag and drop or web page download for moving files on and off the device.
Well, we got a chance to see one in the flesh this evening and it is pretty impressive. It weighs only 3 lbs. (perhaps a tad heavy for its intended purpose), boasts 6 hours of battery and, at least from the relativelty brief chance we had to see it in action, the dual-screen system seems to work rather well. It costs $490, ships in February and we are hoping to have one to review some time soon.
