- the company is about to go out of business, liquidating as much inventory as possible to settle debts
- the company is readying a new product and clearing the distribution channels to minimize "dead" stock
- the company is experiencing supply problems (although they're made by Foxconn in China, not in Japan, and inventories were dwindling before the March 11 quake & tsunami)

A significantly improved 2.0 product would be intriguing, although I don't think I could justify shelling out $400-500 when my current eDGes are working quite nicely...
With the less-than-stellar reception the devices received and the huge competition in the tablet market, I fear it might be #1. At least we all have a good, working device!
