Comparisons between the iPad and the eDGe while seemingy natural, are in my opinion, misguided. The two devices are quite different to me (just to be clear, I have two eDGe units, an ipad, two windows tablet PCs, a net book, a Mac laptop, and three Mac desktops). The iPad is great for consuming content, and its hard to beat the content available on iTunes. On the other hand, the eDGe is terrific for getting work done... Marking up PDFs etc, as well a reading, although the available offerings are not that wide ranging. I am hopeful that we will see an exponential growth in available content for the eDGe.
