Take these pundit reviews of the eDGe with a truckload of salt, enGadget and Gizmodo in particular. If you want to get a sense of how people like the eDGe, visit the enTourage forums and read posts like

One of my many pet peeves with these lame pundit reviews is their complaints of ugliness and weight. If you want pretty and waste a lot of money for eye candy, buy the iPad. If you need something for school/work that's actually practical, buy the eDGe. The PCMag review also complains about screen brightness - clearly they didn't go into the settings where you can almost double the standard brightness.
