Put music in Usb0. Connect 's9' to phone and eDGe.

-At project sites, review/update appropriate Journal (i.e. people/supplies on hand/missing, progress, etc. Make/re-make drawing and diagrams. Take pictures/video at will. Record 'significant' conversation. ...Listen to Music, podcasts or audio book when waiting for someone/something.
-On the road, ...Listen to Music, podcasts or audio book. Stop at Starbucks to read/send Email. Browse internet, check Google Voice.
-A phone call? Anywhere/anytime...make a note in eDGe. ...while you're conversing.
-Going home? Review 'Things to Buy' ...or else.

-At home. Backup to USB/PC. Check Forum.

Well that's my story and I'm stuck with it. Not a student or a teacher. For years PDF's meant 'instruction/operations' manuals only. For books, i.e. Gutenberg text, etc-, I converted them with text to speech software, in 15min segments and put them on player, PC, Zune etc. So while my needs differ from the eDGe community, may I say, AS IS, I LOVE MY eDGe!!

The following has nothing to do with how I use the eDGe and so its optional/uninteresting. It is the reason for my signature.

Retired... but active. Things happen--away from the desk top. Went thru 2 tablet note books. Size, weight, and limited keyboard use made them more of a problem than a productive tool.

Then the 'Courier' rumors appeared. I lusted for months, checkbook ready. And then 'Phttt,.' ...despair.

Yes, The net had posts/reviews on a 'startup competitor' using....what was it called..oh yea...Android. Similar form factor. enTourage's site made it sound so wonderful. Pre-order now..yea, right.

Don't Know why I opened the forum. Gave up reading forums/user comments years ago because they are used mostly by fanatics and weenies to push their brands. 0ver the next weeks I made time to read the entire contents. . The questions, answers, enTourage's support of forum impressed me so much that I was hooked.
