Neat find! This link shows a few more of the apps they've created for it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqdtJ...eature=related

Still waiting to hear someone mention battery life, though, since two LCD screens will use more power than one LCD one e-ink. It does look pretty Courier, though, doesn't it?

It looks like a cool device, and I think the classroom integration has tons of potential. For me, however, having two LCD screens would be useless.

I agree alex_edge there are lots of cool tablets like the NEC or the Kno product out there but they all fail because they have LCD screens and therefore are bad news as readers or serious study tools so Edge still rocks

My point exactly!!!

I was looking at that too; but then realized that it doesn't have wacom or comparable functionality. So it's probably not really an option for consistent use in handwriting and notation. I would like someone to come out with a dual screen wacom enabled tablet though (edge has only one wacom digitizer). Perhaps entourage can jump on the ball.

I agree. Battery life has to suffer with 2 LCD screens. Wonder how big the battery is on that device?

I have seen very few Wacom enabled tablets these days. The Asus EEE Ep121 (A Win7 Tablet) is a Wacom, single panel tablet. There isnt much out there that I know of that will do handwriting well, whether its with or without Wacom. I think the HP Tablet does handwriting, but it is not Wacom.
