******** I'm glad they did this. Most users would have needed type of office software anyway. I'd say it about doubles the number of possible uses for the Edge. Last edited by Nate the great; 01-20-2010 at 11:23 AM. |

This device is getting better and better and ticking more of my boxes and moving up my list of a large format reader for technical and work books and documents. All the productivity stuff is just icing on the cake.

Very neat. I'm glad I pre-ordered mine early.
I wish they (or MS) would add support for OneNote though. That really is the killer app for mobile computing, and I don't understand why it hasn't been expanded to mobile platforms. |

If they'd beef up the hardware just a little and add Win 7, I'd be all over this like white on rice.

I can't wait to get a shipping date. I really like it having a "light" weight OS, I just wish Kindle and B&N would release an Android app., but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Anyone know if you can connect a USB keyboard? With Documents to Go, this might be a good little word processor.

count me as in the exact same camp...I MUST be able to run Win7 otherwise I end up having to work on multible systems to get what I need to do done and if that is the case I am better off sticking right were I am now.

Nice video! I do like the option of the USB keyboard. Maybe Android developers will come up with the software to read all the ebook formats....which is really the only thing this is missing for me. The bezel doesn't look so bad in the video, either....

EDIT: Never mind, I just saw the internal storage. Win 7 on 3 gigs ain't happening. Last edited by phenomshel; 01-21-2010 at 01:38 AM. |

yeah....and there are a lot of reasons the hardware is simply not up to the task including the apps I would like to run. Sure it becomes a difference model of the current Edge but I would still probably be willing and to also pay a couple hundred more.

I think the EDGE is one of the most preferred devices I have ever came across. Everytime I show it to someone they just get dazzeled!
