I've got a strange bug. The Edge no longer charges the battery when turned off. I need to switch on the device and keep it on for the battery to charge.
The Power LED can be green or red, and blinking or solid. This list describes the colors and their meanings:
* Green and blinking - battery is charging
* Green and solid (not blinking) fully charged or in use
* Red and slow blinking - battery fault
* Red and fast blinking - battery is critically low
* Red and solid - battery is missing or not properly installed in the device
* If the Power LED is not lit at all, the power to your enTourage eDGe is off and the AC adaptor is not plugged in.

Something to keep in mind if you experience the Entourage eDGe taking an abnormal amount of time to charge:
The Entourage eDGe battery charges to 100% in about 2hours so long as you stay above 5% charge. If you truly exhaust a battery by using it until the device forces a power off, it can take up to 12 hours to go from 0 to 100%. It takes about 10 hours to trickle charge an exhausted battery to get it up to an acceptable level (about 5%) to ensure the battery is not damaged. Once the battery is charged to 5%, the rest of the battery can charge very quickly.

The AC plug is something that seems to bug a lot of people including myself:

I’ve found that my AC plug needs to be firmly inserted to charge – if it wiggles out by more than about 1mm, the connection is lost. I recall another user saying that his AC plug is even more sensitive than Carolyn’s

2 big issues with it:
1) Its very flimsy feeling (much like a cell phone plug-in). I worry that it will break over time. Its fairly hard to make sure that it stays firmly plugged in such that the unit charges well. Probably in a future version, it would be good to make a better connection here.
2) Its location on the side is not very good, because that can dictate which way you hold/use the eDGe while you are plugged in. I’m right handed, and I typically have the wall plug on my right, so I have to use the eDGe with the e-Paper interface on the right side while charging.

On another note I've gotten the sleeve to the Edge and it's really nice and sturdy built, it even comes with a handle for carrying it around. I'll post some pictures later on.
