I just ordered one, because they had it in red. I figured the bright color would make up for any other deficiencies it has.
Seriously, it looks like an interesting toy and while I don't know exactly what I need it for, I'm sure that will work itself out. I had been looking at the discounted Kobo and Nook readers (<$100) but could not see myself using either device for anything (especially since Kindle will support library borrowing in a few months or so). The PE seems to have other possibilities (e.g. for learning Android development?), and a small but enthusiastic user community. It's probably not going to be a primary device for anything so it doesn't need to be perfect. I've always thought the dual screen form factor was kooky, but now I'll get to see if I was right about that.
There is a reportedly stable 2.2 beta release to work with, and it works with Amazon Appstore. The Entourage web site and forums are up and running, and with any luck they still will be around for at least a few weeks or months, despite rumors of impending demise.
